REQUEST A QUOTE
When our clients are prepared to request a quote the fastest way to initiate this is through our quote request form.
- Select your brand
- Enter your email address
- Confirm your identity with the verification # in your email
- Complete your form
- Press “Get Quote”
This will initiate our team to actively take your insurance to market and properly cover your business. 91% of all franchisees receive their compliant quote proposals within 14 calendar days.
We do take our speed seriously, but if you are renewing your policy, this takes 45 days, generally, and we do recommend beginning on time when you are contacted via email. Please check spam.
WHAT’S NEXT?
You’ll receive an email and text shortly to schedule a ‘Discovery Call.’ This is our preferred method of communication. Direct phone calls to the consultant are not recommended due to call volume constraints. Post ‘Discovery Call’ you may need to provide additional missing information (Missing driver, missing VIN, Physical Location, etc).
Franchisees partner with us because we keep the insurance purchasing process simple. Our goal is to make it simple and transparent.
During our discovery call our dedicated franchise brand consultants will get to know you, and your needs. What they won't be doing is asking you a whole lot of questions about your business, what it is, what you do etc. Our partnership with the franchise brand makes this possible.
If you have specific questions regarding your risk, exposures or what insurance is, feel free to ask during the discovery call or insurance package review.
BEST WAY TO COMMUNICATE
You’ll receive all communication moving forward via email. Rikor sends periodic updates and requests via automated systems. It’s important to check your inbox and spam. The emails will always include instructions and calls to action. These are sent on behalf of your Franchise, Rikor is the Preferred Broker.
BEYOND THE QUOTE
As franchise insurance experts, we know that the price isn’t everything. 2 quotes can be within 5% of a similar price, but one can be far more appealing for our franchise customers. Here are some of the most compelling reasons to move forward with a quote from your Rikor Consultant.
- Accurate coverage to protect your investment
- Your coverage will be with carriers that want your business
- Competitive pricing up front, mid-year and at renewal
- Negotiated underwriting, coverage and pricing through collective buying power of your franchise
- Simple, quick and accurate quoting
- Real-time insurance accuracy to ensure your protected year-round
- Pay-As-You-Go for workers compensation
Rikor agents warn franchisee’s from ‘shopping’ quotes from local brokers who promise “super low prices.” This effort is redundant because Rikor Agents shop your price with all the available markets. The only way to lower the price is to manipulate exposure, classifications, or reduce coverage. Rikor will always quote based on the FDD requirements which act as a guide to protecting your investment and the entire brand.
