Your insurance advisors in St. Gallen

Are you looking for insurance advice in St. Gallen that looks at your policies, your employer's group contracts and the statutory benefits together – instead of selling each cover on its own? Then you are in the right place.

At Kornhausstrasse 25, a few minutes' walk from the main station, we first lay open what you already have – through your employer, privately and, if you work across the border, in the neighbouring country too. Only then do we talk about changes.

Eastern Switzerland is shaped by industry, mechanical engineering and a dense SME network – and by the proximity to Liechtenstein and Austria. Anyone working across the border faces questions of their own in health and accident insurance.

Whether it is daily benefits and accident cover at an industrial employer, the right health insurance as a cross-border commuter, your first own policy after graduating or protecting your family business – we start with the question that matters to you today.

In person in St. Gallen's city centre, by video or by phone: you can reach our St. Gallen team directly on +41 71 580 58 88.

What sets our insurance advice in St. Gallen apart

tailor-made. holistic. for you. – this promise applies at Kornhausstrasse too. In St. Gallen it means above all that we first clarify which system is responsible for you before we talk about premiums. Three principles carry it:

Border proximity taken seriously

Living in the Rhine Valley and working in Liechtenstein or Austria – or the other way round – is everyday life here. Which health and accident insurance then applies depends on residence, place of work and the applicable social security agreements. We clarify your constellation before anything goes wrong.

Industry and SMEs in focus

In Eastern Switzerland, many people work in manufacturing businesses. Accident and daily sickness benefit solutions there are often good – the gap appears for salary components above the statutory accident insurance ceiling and when you leave the company.

Independent – and clear about where our advice ends

We don't represent an insurance company, we represent you. Where a question concerns foreign social security or tax law, we say so and bring in specialists. Any commissions are disclosed.

In Eastern Switzerland cover is often spread across the business, the household and sometimes two countries. Our insurance advice in St. Gallen brings it together in a clear process.

How to proceed – Insurance advice in St. Gallen

1. Non-binding first consultation (free of charge)
We get to know each other – at Kornhausstrasse, by phone or by video. You describe your situation, we show you how we work. Without selling pressure.
2. Taking stock of your coverage
Health insurance policy, household contents and liability, motor vehicle, life and disability cover, plus your pension fund statement and your employer's group contracts. If you work in Liechtenstein or Austria, the documents from your country of work belong in the overview too.
3. Assessment and recommendations
We show what your employer already covers, where you are paying twice and where a real gap remains – for instance on salary above the statutory insured maximum or after a move across the border. Every recommendation is explained.
4. Market comparison and implementation
We obtain offers from several companies, compare conditions rather than premiums alone and take care of the correspondence – from notice periods to checking that the new policy fits your place of residence and work.
5. Ongoing support and claims
At least once a year we review coverage, premiums and conditions. In St. Gallen a new place of work in the Rhine Valley or abroad, the start of a career or a succession in the family business often changes the picture. In the event of a claim, we are your point of contact toward the insurer.

Who is our insurance advice in St. Gallen suitable for?

St. Gallen combines industry and trades with a strong education and services hub – and lies close to two national borders. Our advice is for everyone who wants to turn that into clear protection – with insurance and health insurance, retirement provision and taxes as parts of the same calculation.

You will find an overview of all locations on our page Insurance Advice Switzerland.

Employees in industry and trades

Your accident and daily benefit solution runs through the company – and ends with it. We show which part of your protection hangs on the employment contract and what needs to be arranged anew if you change jobs or are let go.

Cross-border and weekly commuters

Between the St. Gallen Rhine Valley, Liechtenstein and Vorarlberg, responsibilities change quickly. We assess which system applies to you and bring in specialists for cross-border questions.

SMEs and family businesses

Business liability, property and business interruption cover, daily sickness benefits and the pension fund affiliation belong in one shared view – together with the private protection of the owners.

People starting their careers

First flat of your own, first health insurance policy, first employment contract: we explain what is compulsory, what makes sense and what can wait – without selling you a package right away.

We hear these questions at Kornhausstrasse especially often. Is yours missing? Fill in the form at the top of this page or call our St. Gallen team on +41 71 580 58 88.

Go to the Form

You will find us at Kornhausstrasse 25, 9000 St. Gallen – in the city centre and just a few minutes' walk from the main station. Appointments are also possible by video.

The first consultation at Kornhausstrasse or by video is free of charge and non-binding. After that we work on a fee basis – as a flat rate for a clearly defined mandate, such as clarifying your health and accident cover when you work across the border, or at an hourly rate. You know the scope before we begin.

In common usage both terms describe the same role: advice that does not sell on behalf of a company. That is how we work in St. Gallen – we compare offers from several providers, explain the conditions and remain your point of contact after the contract is signed, including in the event of a claim.

That depends on your residence, your place of work and the applicable social security agreements – there is no blanket answer. We go through your specific constellation, record which system is responsible, and bring in specialists where needed.

In the canton of St. Gallen, building insurance runs through the cantonal institution; household contents, personal liability and supplementary cover, on the other hand, you choose freely on the market. We show which part is negotiable and which is not.

Yes. You can have the consultation on site at Kornhausstrasse or entirely by video call – whichever works better for you.
