FAQs about Risk Management

What is risk management?
Risk management involves the identifying, assessing, and prioritizing of risk exposures, followed by coordinated efforts to minimize, monitor, and control the probability or impact of these exposures.
Why is a risk management plan important?
A risk management plan provides the blueprint on how to proactively manage risks, and gives direction to all employees related to carrying out the risk management game plan. This includes stating the specific goals desired; a step by step guide for achieving those goals; and practical ways to measure progress on an on-going basis.
What services are included in risk management?
Risk management services encompass risk assessment, mitigation strategies, insurance solutions, and ongoing monitoring to protect against financial loss, bodily injury or property damage.
How does risk management benefit businesses?
It helps businesses limit their exposure to risks of financial loss, bodily injury or property damage, which helps increase their profit and safeguard their assets.
How is insurance related to risk management?
Insurance does not keep an unfortunate event from occurring, but it does help pay for it. Risk Management is split up into two (2) buckets; Risk Control and Risk Financing. Risk Control helps to “control” the exposures in a business’ operations. Risk Financing is how the losses will be paid for if/when they occur. Insurance falls within Risk Financing since it is a way businesses can transfer the payment of expenses associated with a loss over to the insurance carrier.
Why consider risk management consulting?
Risk management consulting provides guidance to businesses on identifying, assessing, and managing financial risks. You can do it yourself, but wouldn’t you prefer to work with an insurance agency that already works with firms just like yours?
How much does risk management consulting cost?
If you work with our agency, we can often provide risk management services for free, since they are often included in the premiums you pay for insurance.
What are effective risk management solutions?
Effective risk management solutions include risk assessments, placing or revising insurance coverage, contingency planning, and proactive monitoring to minimize potential threats.
What areas of a design firm need risk management?
We have classified three broad areas within a design firm where Risk Control and Risk Financing can be utilized: Finance, Legal and Operations.The area of finance may not seem relevant to risks associated with design firms, but this includes borrowing money to meet payroll, investments the firm has made, employee benefit plans, and aging accounts receivables.

Design firms are required to maintain a level of skill and care ordinarily demonstrated by members of their profession under similar circumstances and at the same time their services are performed, in the area that they practice. The law does not require perfection, just reasonable skill, and care. Failure to meet this “standard of care” is a necessary element for establishing negligence.

Lastly, there are many various risks associated with operating any type of business. Many of these operational risks can be mitigated using insurance policies. Others require the firm to create policies, processes and procedures around the various practice areas to increase the odds of favorable results.

Which risk management tools are recommended for businesses?
Risk assessment software, financial modeling tools, and enterprise risk management (ERM) systems are recommended.

Couldn't be more pleased with the level of service and competitive pricing. I have a niche business that falls outside the norm of most. Risk Specialty Group took the time to understand my business and provide the perfect solution of coverage for me. I highly recommend them to any small business in need of coverage.

When I started my business 4 years ago, the team at Risk Specialty Group was recommended to me by a long-time colleague to handle business and professional liability insurance. I could not be happier! Travis, Deanna, and the entire team are wonderful to work with. They consistently provide excellent service and go above and beyond to make sure I have what I need, when I need it. One example: I purchased a new vehicle for the business and was signing paperwork late on a Friday afternoon not realizing I would need auto insurance before I drove it off of the lot. Travis and his team took my call at 5pm and made sure I had coverage so I could drive home before 6pm, on a Friday! Just one example of their excellent service and responsiveness.

The Risk Specialty Group was recommended to TTL by another client of theirs. We have not been disappointed! Both Travis and Candi have been wonderful to work with - the communication is exceptional and the overall switch from a different company has been seamless. I look forward to working with them for many more years to come.

Risk Specialty Group has handled my micro-company's insurance for almost five years. They have consistently provided prompt, professional, friendly, and effective customer service. I am always sure that I have access to their "A" team and that they are in my corner. Of all my service providers, they are #1 in that department. 6 stars if I could.
