Choosing an insurance consultant is not as simple as answering the above either or questions. For example, some insurance consultants are capable of putting together multi-disciplinary teams. Additionally, Enterprise Risk Management has emerged as a new discipline capable of identifying, analyzing and recommending risk treatments for both insurance and non-insurable forms of risk.
However, assuming you have determined which kind of consultant you need, we suggest that you visit Business Insurance, a weekly insurance tabloid. BI conducts annual surveys of risk management and employee benefits consultants. They also sell their Market SourceBook for $50.00. This directory provides contact information on all categories of insurance and risk management consultants.
Don't be afraid to ask your insurance broker or agent for a referral. It is commonplace for insurance consumers to utilize independent consultants and your local agent should know who is capable -- and licensed in states requiring it -- to serve you.
