Empowering Informed Decision-Making
The primary objective of the iNeedCover website is to empower customers with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their insurance needs. To achieve this, iNeedCover empowers customers with access to critical risk information via API, enabling well-informed decisions regarding insurance needs, while guiding initial conversations with the broker.

Users can effortlessly select their company from the available options and gain insights into the associated risks. With a user-friendly form, users can specify the risks they wish to insure against. Once the form is submitted, users can sit back and relax, knowing that an experienced advisor will promptly reach out to provide personalized assistance and guidance.

This approach streamlines the insurance selection process, making it efficient and user-centric. Users no longer have to navigate complex insurance jargon and options independently. Instead, they receive tailored support from experts who understand their unique requirements. This level of service reinforces CBN's commitment to putting customers first and ensuring they receive the best insurance solutions for their specific needs.
