Business assets valuation service

We have teamed up with asset valuation company, Risk Assessment Information Services, to bring you a hassle-free, cost effective, asset management facility. This service provides you with a full inventory and valuation of all your business assets, from nuts and bolts to machinery, tools and IT equipment.

Why is this important?

Knowing exactly what your business owns and how much it is worth, means you can be sure your insurance is adequate for your needs. It will help avoid the risk of only a partial claims settlement as a result of underinsurance.

If you are unlucky enough to suffer a loss, for example following a break in, you have a ready- made inventory to check exactly what’s been taken.

Who is the service aimed at?

Currently, Risk Assessment Information Services offers this facility to Motor Trade clients only.

How does it work?

Risk Assessment Information Services will send an auditor to your business to complete your inventory. This will take approximately half a day. The inventory can be conducted at a time that will cause minimum disturbance to your business.

What next?

For further details about the Asset Valuation Service, please contact either your local Oyster representative or the Oyster Customer Support Team. 

With the survey complete, the auditor will give you a full copy of your inventory and a valuation report for insurance purposes.

When you need to make a claim, we'll guide you through the process and get your claim settled as quickly as possible.

  • Find your insurance documents and make sure you have all your information at hand, including your policy number.
  • Call the claims team on 0344 893 0014 and explain exactly what happened
  • Provide photos if requested to help us understand what happened as quickly as we can.
