Start with our Insurance Quiz to identify the key risks for your business. Then chat with one of our brokers who can help you find the right mix of covers for your situation.
Specialist brokers understand the contracts, regulations, and real-world risks in your sector. That means we can spot gaps, negotiate better wording, and recommend covers that match how you actually operate - not just a generic package.
Absolutely. We’ll tailor a package that combines essential and recommended policies, so you only pay for what you need.
Public Liability covers injury or property damage caused by your business activities or products. Professional Indemnity protects against financial loss to others caused by your professional advice, design, or service.
If something goes wrong, contact us first. Our in-house claims team will guide you through the process, liaise with the insurer, and work to achieve a fair and efficient outcome.
Yes. We can arrange short-term or project-specific policies, especially for builders, designers, and contractors.
Premiums depend on factors like your industry, turnover, number of employees, claims history, and the limits or excesses you choose. We’ll compare options to find competitive terms for your business.
Absolutely. Small businesses are often the target of cyber attacks because they store valuable client data and may have limited security. Cyber cover can help with recovery costs, data breaches, and business interruption.
