Insurance Providers
Insurance can be purchased through an insurance broker or an insurance provider. Although insurance brokers and providers perform very similar functions, they are different. An insurance broker acts as an intermediary between you (the insurance buyer) and the insurance provider, helping you find the best deal across various insurance companies. If you deal directly with an insurance provider, you cut out the middle man, leaving you to search for the best insurance to suit your needs.
