n downtown Fort Lauderdale are the offices of Corporate
Insurance Advisors (CIA), specialists that provide unique
protection to businesses and high net worth clients. 

The high-profile insurance agency provides policies that protect
businesses by offering a comprehensive range of policies. It is a
proven safety net for hundreds of clients, and provides programs
that are second to none.

“We offer a variety of insurance
options, and are very proactive in 
utilizing “value-added incentives”
that focus on risk assessment,
risk management and place-
ment,” says Mark Schwartz,
CEO. “Our broad-based cover-
age plans are very appealing to
business owners.”

Many businesses east of I-95 have
insurance for hurricane coverage
damage through Citizens, explains
Schwartz, but they do not offer
business interruption coverage due
to a hurricane. “If the roof of a 15-
year-old building is destroyed, it
needs to be rebuilt to new 
construction codes, but Citizens excludes coverage for code enhance-
ments,” Schwartz says. It’s our job to be proactive on behalf of 
businesses, and to present them with a variety of options for 
maximum coverage.”

E-commerce protection is another often-overlooked need. As the 
exchange of credit card information is supplied over the Internet, 
companies are not covered for losses under general liability. Not the
case with Corporate Insurance Advisors.

The company’s Cyber Liability safety policies guard against identity
theft, and network security liability, and are designed for businesses
that rely on storing information electronically.

This type of coverage is essential in the high-tech age in which we live.

Data can be exploited. For example, a hacker penetrates a retailer’s
network, steals credit card information, and uses that information to
make purchases. The cardholder could sue the retailer to recover their
cost to repair credit, discharge fraudulent loans and seek damages
from emotional stress. “Without proper coverage, businesses are 
putting themselves in danger,” says Schwartz. “We can prevent that
from happening.”

A bad economy poses another problem. Employees haven’t 
received a pay raise, and the cost of living keeps rising. To compensate,
an employee may steal from a company – not so much in terms of
money, but in inventory. “It is a very real issue in today’s workplace 
and businesses need to be covered for losses,” says Schwartz.
