Worldwide Finance Awards 2020

4 Acquisition International - 2020 Worldwide Finance Awards RC stands for ‘All Risks Considered’, and there can be no more apt a name for the business than this. Since its inception just two years ago, that is exactly what the firm has set out to do: consider all the risks and then be in a position where it can help all different types of businesses with their insurance requirements. Where ARC stands out from its competitors is in its customer service. Everything is tied back to the overriding idea that all risks are considered, and no client is ever discriminated against for a risk that may have revealed itself during the process. The customer is always at the heart of everything the firm does, and it always offers a professional service with a 24-hour claims services available that does not have a call centre in sight. Understandably so, the finance industry is in unprecedented times at the moment, like many other industries around the world. However, as businesses and companies begin to bring their workforces back into an office space, insurance is an increasingly vital industry for so many businesses. ARC has become responsible for looking after the insurance of various different business risks, and not one of them is the same, so they all face different major issues. ARC itself has insured gyms and nail or beauty salons. At the beginning of the pandemic, many of these were forced to close their doors. Some will have survived, but some unfortunately will not have. This then has a knock off effect with ARC’s business, because those insurance policies are cancelled and the commission is clawed back or renewals are lapsed. However, there have also been hauliers that ARC serves that have diversified, and moved into the supermarket industry to assist food markets. They have thrived during the pandemic, which of course, has meant an increase on the insurance costs due to a higher demand on the fleet and a higher commission for ARC. The pandemic has affected everyone differently, and for ARC, it is simple about staying as current as possible with the news, but also consistently marketing and looking for new opportunities for business all the time. Regardless of the client however, ARC always does its best to take care of the business, and the people involved in it. Despite the fluctuations in the financial markets generated by the unknown circumstances surrounding COVID-19, ARC has performed exceptionally well over the last twelve months. It has built up some fantastic relationships with new clients, having been set up through the power of social media and good marketing. That does not mean that it has not been strange or difficult for ARC. Where the firm Best Commercial Insurance Broker 2020 - East Midlands A usually offers a very personable service that includes site visits, those processes have had to change. Now, many of those meetings are conducted through Zoom, Skype, or Microsoft Teams, and a great deal more time has been spent on the phone. However, what this has done has shown the importance, the value, and the benefits that ARC’s personable service can do for clients, and has brought a very strong sense of community amongst the firm and its clients. The internal culture of the firm is just as excellent, and ARC has taken steps to ensure it is the best possible commercial insurance firm.
