TechAssure Launches a New National Micro Site to Better Serve the IT Sector’s Property, General Liability and E&O Needs

San Rafael, CA (PRWEB) January 05, 2012

Many local insurance experts know that each company has its own unique technology insurance needs. While a standard business owner’s policy may be suitable for some companies, those that specialize in niche sectors may require more. For this reason, a number of expert insurance providers have come together to form TechAssure, a non-profit, international association of insurance brokers that specialize in providing all lines of insurance for venture capital and private equity firms, their portfolio companies and IT consultants. TechAssure members represent more than 4,000 clients in the innovation space, with more than $ 1 billion in property and liability insurance premiums.

Now, members of the group have launched a new website, http://coveritfast.com/coverit/. The new site allows IT related businesses to get a quote faster than ever before with CoverITfast, an insurance product custom-made for those in the IT and technology sectors. Through the CoverITfast product, technology businesses can obtain one insurance policy that provides comprehensive office and professional liability coverage, including professional liability risk exposures to technology errors and omissions, network security liability, personal injury and privacy liability, failure to prevent authorized system access, and media and intellectual property coverage.

TechAssure’s members are proud to be the only insurance association that is dedicated to the Tech sector. By joining multiple regional niche tech insurance brokers together to combine their experience, TechAssure is able to better serve its customers and ensure that all clients obtain coverage that is uniquely tailored for their needs.

Research shows 10% of secondary UK homes uninsured

(PRWeb UK) May 31, 2010

Financial news publisher Fairinvestment.co.uk recently reported that approximately 10% of UK holiday home owners did not have an unoccupied home insurance policy in place for their secondary properties. Citing research conducted by a prominent UK insurer, the report revealed that up to 160,000 unoccupied properties are also underinsured, placing their owners at risk financially.

Unoccupied properties are typically inherited homes, property in the process of being renovated or second homes awaiting sale. Although these assets might not be in use, having adequate unoccupied home insurance in place is vital.

Empty houses tend to fall into disrepair over time, especially if regular checks are not conducted. The harsh weather conditions in the UK also contribute to maintenance problems. Frozen water pipes can burst, and unless the problem is addressed immediately repair costs could sky-rocket.

The London Fire Service estimates that one in every 10 call-outs they receive is to extinguish a fire in an empty property. Asking neighbours in the area to keep an eye on the property and informing the local neighbourhood watch that the property will be uninhabited is therefore advisable.

Vacant properties are generally seen to pose a high risk to insurers as they are more likely to become targeted by burglars. Squatters are also more likely to move in and cause damage, and a long period of neglect can lead to the property losing value.

It is imperative that property owners find the right insurance cover for unoccupied second properties. While some insurers won’t supply unoccupied home insurance, UK insurance provider Towergate specialises in insuring unoccupied homes.
