Wrapping Up 2025: Why Insurance Should Be on Your Year-End Checklist

As 2025 draws to a close, the excitement and chaos of the season are everywhere. Busy offices, bustling streets, and the year-end rush can make it easy to lose track of important details. Amid the shopping, travel plans, and celebrations, one crucial step is often forgotten: ensuring your insurance coverage is up to date before the year ends.

Consider the story of Emeka, a small business owner in Lagos. He spent the year juggling clients, payroll, and business expansion. The holidays were approaching, and he finally paused to review his accounts. That’s when he realised that while his business and family were thriving, he hadn’t updated or reviewed his insurance coverage all year. A minor accident or unexpected event could easily have turned into a financial setback.

Insurance is more than just a safety net; it’s a tool that lets you enjoy the season with confidence. It ensures that unforeseen events, whether at home, on the road, or at work, don’t derail your plans or drain your resources. By taking a moment now to review your policies, pay outstanding premiums, or make adjustments, you can step into the new year with peace of mind.

Making Insurance Work for You Before the Year Ends

Reviewing your insurance doesn’t have to be complicated. Start by asking yourself:

  • Do my current policies reflect my needs? Maybe you purchased a motor insurance policy early in the year, but you recently upgraded your car or added a new vehicle. Your old coverage might no longer be sufficient.
  • Are there gaps that could leave me exposed? For example, if you run a small business and recently started offering delivery services, your business insurance may need to cover goods in transit.
  • Have there been any changes in my life that affect my coverage? Marriage, children, a home renovation, or purchasing new valuable assets like electronics or jewellery are all changes that might require updating your insurance.

Regularly reviewing and updating your insurance ensures that you’re fully protected, and it prevents unpleasant surprises if the unexpected happens.

As the year winds down, think of insurance not as a chore but as a strategy. A well-planned coverage portfolio protects your assets, reduces stress, and gives you the freedom to celebrate and plan for the new year without worry.
