Risk management strategies for the Wholesalers & Distributors industry
Our risk management strategies help Wholesalers & Distributors drive continuous innovation, endure future challenges, and achieve ambitious growth objectives. We work alongside our clients to help extend your current insurance program's capabilities, optimize your risk spending, close coverage gaps, manage exposures, and find new growth opportunities. Our Wholesalers & Distributors risk management program offers comprehensive insurance management services to help your organization carry out its mission and mitigate the risk exposures your business experiences. Some of the critical challenges the Wholesalers & Distributors industry must address include the following:
-
Employee injuries are common within the Wholesalers & Distributors industry. It’s vital to protect your business and employees from costly medical bills, lost wages, and lawsuits by having worker's compensation coverage in place.
-
Product liability risks arise when a product manufactured or sold by a company causes injury or damage to a third party. For example, if a product sold by your business harms a client, your business could be held liable for the accident.
-
The rising threat of cyberattacks due to entry into e-commerce and digitalization can significantly damage your wholesale and distribution business’s financial position and reputation. As more transactions are conducted online, companies are exposed to new types of cybercrime.
-
Business interruption can arise when a business cannot operate due to disasters such as floods, wind, fire, hurricanes, tornadoes, and other catastrophic weather events. For example, if a severe weather event destroys a Distributor’s warehouse, it will not be able to operate while the property is being repaired. This can result in lost revenue and cause the Distributor severe financial distress.
-
Commercial auto fleets increase Wholesalers & Distributors' risk exposure. Accidents and vehicle-related damages can result in substantial financial losses. Commercial auto insurance coverage can help cover the costs of repairs, liability, and other expenses that may be incurred as a result of the accident.
