We recently had the opportunity to ask Eric about the\u00a0importance of insurance for business owners:<\/p>\n


\n1)\u00a0Please share the services you provide and whom you serve.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Country Financial, we offer automobile, motorcycle, homeowners, renters, life, disability insurance to individuals in both Oregon and Washington.<\/em><\/p>\n

2)\u00a0What makes Country Financial different from other insurance groups?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many insurance groups do not offer the personal service experience that Country Financial offers. I work with all of our clients on a one-on-one basis to create customized solutions based on their needs and desires. I respect the goals of my clients and want them to be able to trust and rely on me to help them with their financial needs. <\/em><\/p>\n

As a small business owner myself, I understand the busy schedule most business owners have. To make the whole process easier, I meet with my clients individually\u00a0according to their schedule and what works best for them. It is my priority to understand their needs as best as possible in order to propose the policies that will work best for them.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3)\u00a0We often hear we need to have life insurance. Why is it so important for business owners and executives to invest in life insurance?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Protecting the future of their business is priority. If something were to happen to a business owner and they didn\u2019t have life insurance, the business could fall apart rather quickly without enough capital to keep the business operating. By investing in life insurance, business owners can ensure the business they worked so hard to create stays in business while the owner or partner position is filled.<\/em><\/p>\n

Further, think of your loved ones. Many business owners have a family that also depends on them. You have the ability to protect your family from financial hardship by purchasing the right life insurance plan that helps to bring in income in the unfortunate event of a life accident.<\/em><\/p>\n

Many times, I will receive a call from someone wanting life insurance after their health has changed for the worse. However, people should get life insurance now – when they are healthy because it saves them money and offers more possibility of coverage.<\/em><\/p>\n

5)\u00a0What should business owners be asking when investing in insurance?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Insurance is a foreign concept to many people and when choosing a policy for your business, you need to understand what you are getting.<\/em><\/p>\n

Some of the most important questions you should ask an insurance agent are:<\/em><\/p>\n
