Cyber Insurance Review

My business was already about 3 years old when I bought cyber insurance from Greater National Group. I have a home insurance policy with them before, so it was easy to get on board when I fully realized the importance of cyber insurance. About 18 months afterwards, my business had its first major data breach. As a flight booking agent, my company has thousands of personal information of clients. The hackers got into our system and reversed most of the booked flights.  


I was confused and afraid I would have to deal with one form of litigation or the other. When I contacted GNG, they quickly sent over an expert to fortify our firewall to prevent further hacks and data manipulation. Long and short of it all, GNG was able to restore my data and ensure our systems were upgraded with better protection. Cyber threat is real and it can be devastating. It is good to know my company had a trusted hand to keep us from falling.

What Can Void Your Life Insurance?

Although we are required to fill out forms correctly with all necessary information when purchasing a life insurance, what happens if you leave out some details? Another probable question is if future health decisions can void your life insurance. While this may seem strange to some people, there are many people who fall into this category. You could choose to refuse treatment for an illness that affects your life on the grounds of religion. You could also prefer alternative medicines to mainstream ones, etc.

If you falsify or withhold certain information in your form, I can actually make your policy null and void. There seems to be an exception to this. According to life insurance experts at Greater National Group, in most cases, once the contract is already signed you are still covered by the terms in the contract. Life insurance policies will still cover you if you refuse to take treatment or refuse a certain kind of surgery. The policy can only be void if it was discovered before the policy is written.


For this reason, many insurance companies often include a two-year contestable period. During this time, the company has the legal right to rescind on your policy if there is proof that you misinformed or falsified information on the contract. Anything beyond this period, your claim will be paid to you nonetheless. 

Insurance Company - GNG review

Toward the end of last year I left my previous employer who actually provided a good health insurance for me. The most painful part of it all was me thinking I would never be able to afford the entire coverage on my own. This also doesn’t put into perspective the fear of undergoing through a very stressful process. Luckily for me, I had a car insurance policy with the Greater National Group. In my confused state I reached out to them to see if they could help me with the entire process.


The guys at GNG took away all of my worries and fears. I never knew filling of such forms could be painless and less stressful than I had imagined. The company offered to cover me privately and the premiums cots far less than I was thinking they would charge. Words would fail me to genuinely appreciate Rob Sinclair and the team for the great work they are doing. It is good to know you guys take joy in putting smiles in the faces of your clients.

Is Life Insurance Really Important?

While many people do not like the topic of general insurance, life insurance tends to put them off on a whole new different scale. As much as death is inevitable, many of us have refused to accept the fact that it will surely come. So help better explain this avoidable subject, we decided to do an interview with some of Greater National Group’s insurance experts. Here are some of the questions they provided answers for.

Who Needs and Does Not Need Life Insurance?
Anyone with a dependent is an ideal candidate for life insurance. By dependents we mean spouses, children, and sometimes elderly parents. Young and single individuals do not necessarily need life insurance because they have no dependents – someone to care for.

How Can Someone Know the Exact Type of Life Insurance to Purchase?
The truth is that temporary insurance is able to meet most people’s needs. The premium is less expensive than permanent life insurance. Just like a commodity, it can be bought form a very wide range of top rated insurers. Unlike permanent life insurance, it is relatively easy to understand.

How Can Someone Know the Amount of Coverage they need?

With life insurance, the primary focus is your dependents. So the amount of income they will need when you are no longer able to support them should be the determining factor.

Why You Should Work with Insurance Professionals

In all honesty, insurance has grown a whole lot more complex than it used to be. There are just too many companies and brokers offering different types of packages. If one is not careful, you can fall prey to insurance policies with limited. This is why it is important to work with insurance professionals like those in Greater National Group. They will help you with one or all of these:

Analyze Your Insurance Needs

There are lots of insurance policies out there. A good professional insurance broker will help you determine which policy is right for you at the moment.

Evaluate the Best Budget-Friendly Insurance Policies

Having insurance policies is good but sometimes it is just not economically feasible. The professional will look at your available budget and help select the types of budget you need to have in place.

Answer Questions & Resolve Problems

This is where professionals differ from amateur insurance brokers. A professional will always encourage you to ask questions and provide answers in the most simplest of way. They also resolve issues that may arise along the way.

Annual Review of Policies

This is a vital part of any insurance policy. It's always advisable to do this to ensure coverage is still intact as it was. Professional insurance brokers will be willing to hold these reviews with you when scheduled

Filing a Claim


Professional insurance brokers work hand-in-hand all through the process of filing for a claim. They understand it is their responsibility to ensure you get payment for claim requested. You can only enjoy the full benefits of buying insurance when you work with a professional insurance broker.

Understanding the Gaps in Life Insurance

This is an insurance that doesn't necessarily benefits the direct holder but goes a long way to help others. Taking into account the advantages of having a good income and great saving abilities, you would still need a good life insurance as backup. This will help give your family and friends the kind of life they had while you were still alive.


When situations change, your life insurance policy can also be affected. To better understand this, let's use a change of job. If you change jobs, your insurance policy would need to be reviewed. If your previous employer offered permanent life insurance and the new one offers a limited temporary life insurance, you are no longer as covered as you once thought you were. This gap in life insurance has cost so many people later on. Always review your policy to make sure it still supports the coverage as it once did. GNG insurance experts always advise that clients make it a duty to visit the company when there is a change in life patterns. 

Understanding the Gaps in Home Owner's Insurance

It doesn't seem comforting to know that there are gaps in something as important as your insurance. Just like any signed contract or policy, there arise misunderstandings when one party doesn't fully understand what the exceptions or limitations of the contract states. At top insurance companies like Greater National Group, insurance experts are at the disposal of clients to ask and re-ask questions until there is proper understand.

When buying home owner's insurance, it's important you know what the policy covers and especially what it doesn't. Many insurance companies always guarantee coverage for all kinds of loss. The truth is that each policy has a cap of amount to be given out as claim, unless special premiums are paid. This gap can be closed up by ensuring you hire a building contractor to give an estimate of how much it would cost to rebuild your own. With this information, you'll know if truly the insurance policy can cover situations where you'll need a home replacement.


Always review your policy annually to make sure it still covers what was claimed coverage. Schedule a face-to-face meeting with an insurance broker and don't be afraid to ask questions. Never fall into the habit of assumptions. Don't assume things; ask for clarification. They're the experts insurance and not you. It's totally ok not to understand things.
