Sixteen Candles and a Car
It’s funny how one day can cause so many different emotions depending on your point-of-view.
If you’re a teenager, it’s the most wonderful day of all, a day you’ve looked forward to perhaps more than any other of your accumulated 5,840 days of existence on earth.
If you’re a mom, you’re frightened out of your mind.
If you’re an insurance-paying parent or guardian, you’re probably just a little bit grumpy because it’s one of the most expensive days of all.
What NOT to Forget on Moving Day!
I was reading the newspaper today and noticed something unusual – a business is expanding! I know with our economy, it’s hard to spend money, especially when it comes to a new building. It was a nice surprise to see a company is growing and needing more space! However, it got me to wondering…… will this business tell their insurance agent about the new premises?
I know insurance can be one of the last items considered when undergoing such a major company change. But if you don’t inform your agent about the new premises, you may have an unexpected problem in the event of a loss.
