What does it do?

A VAR Survey allows you to review the adequacy of your insurance cover and adjust accordingly to ensure that full cover is provided for thus avoiding under-insurance.

Once you report a claim to your insurance company, they will carry out a detailed examination of the claim and examine your insurance policy to ensure that you have cover for the loss incurred. If you are not adequately insured, then you will face a shortfall in the claim settlement which could have a disastrous impact on your business.
