First Choice Insurance Intermediaries has been helping consumers, commercial businesses and producers understand the complex insurance marketplace, and find the correct coverage option at an affordable price since 2000. We represent many of the leading “A” rated insurance companies in the world. Our approach is to understand our insured’s risk exposures and then identify coverages, policy limits, loss control and claims expertise required. We then find the insurance policy or program with the best price that meets those needs. Our client and Producer satisfaction is the key to our success and building long-term relationships. We provide thoughtful solutions and knowledgeable customer service over the long term…matching needs with the right market solutions. Many consider price more important than cost when purchasing insurance, but paying the lowest price can often end up costing you more in the long run. We believe it’s best to evaluate your exposures to losses, then consider the best coverage, limits and services as a whole to protect your assets. Looking at price first and quality of terms and conditions last can cost you real dollars when an insurance policy has insufficient limits or coverage and part or all of a claim is denied. What is the true cost of insurance when this happens? At First Choice, our approach is to identify coverage, limits and claims expertise needed by our clients, and then find the insurance policy or program with the best price that meets those needs. This puts our producers and clients in the best position to make informed decisions on their insurance purchases before a loss occurs. First Choice believes this is the key to effective asset protection and expense control.

Unfortunately, the odds are against a mere software purchase achieving financial paradise. Bookkeeping software is only as reliable as the input. A substantial number of business owners don’t understand double-entry bookkeeping.

We will provide tips and insights for consumers on how to get the best life insurance and things they should consider.
TIP! Before you purchase a car, it's important to talk to your insurance agent first. Ask your insurance agent to tell you which cars will get the best rates. Car insurance is important and something you must have if you wish to drive a car. Shopping for auto insurance can quickly become overwhelming with so many companies and options to consider. Read on to find some useful tips on how to sort through all the information so that you can get the right amount of coverage for the best price. TIP! If you have a teen driver you should request two separate quotes, one with your child on your policy and one with your child on a stand-alone policy. Sometimes it is better to simply purchase a separate policy for the second car and your teenaged child. Avoid getting any infractions on your driver's license. You can pay more on insurance if you have tickets and accidents on your record. If you do have an accident or get a ticket, consider attending traffic school. This can often offset the increase in your insurance costs. TIP! It is required by most state laws that you have sufficient liability insurance as a driver. You need to be aware of the regulations regarding minimum insurance coverage in your state. When purchasing auto insurance for your teenager, consider your options. In some cases, it would be cheaper for you to get a separate plan for your child, than it would be to add him or her to your current one. In some cases, you may want to insure your teenager separately. TIP! Try to not add any after-market parts unless you really need them. Some things are nice to have, but ask yourself if the money you are spending is really warranted. Your vehicle's make and model is the number one influencing factor on your auto insurance rates. Depending on your taste in vehicles, from a luxury model hybrid to a beat up gas guzzler, your insurance premium will reflect that taste. Choose something nice, safe and reliable over a flashier option to save big on insurance bills. TIP! Property damage liability is important to buy with any auto insurance policy. If you cause property damage in an accident, this type of coverage will protect your assets. Switching cars between different family members is not advisable if you want low premiums. If there is a 1:1 correspondence between people and cars, your auto insurance will cost less. Property Damage TIP! Think about taking some coverage items off of your automobile insurance. If your vehicle is older and less valuable and your policy includes collision insurance, it may not be worthwhile to keep paying for it. When purchasing new auto insurance, you should always be sure you have property damage liability. If you don't you may find that you are paying out of pocket for the mess you create when you have an accident. Most states actually require you to maintain property liability insurance. Buying property damage coverage will protect you from costly lawsuits that might follow from an accident. TIP! Contact a representative of your vehicle insurance provider to request a complete list of available discounts. Comb through the list, and consider which ones you are eligible for. Consider getting a car that is not so sporty. Sports cars cost significantly more to insure than many others. Try a car that isn't so high-profile. Larger motors cost more in insurance premiums as well. Expensive vehicles are frequently targets of theft. This factors into your insurance cost. TIP! It is important to know about the different types of coverage. You should be certain that you have a policy that covers any possible incident.
