Whether you own a high street shop, build furniture in a shed, run a franchise or sell your products and services via your website, we can help create a tailored insurance policy for your business.

We understand that your business is unique. If your shop sells food you're going to need different insurance to someone who runs a hardware business. So, that’s why we offer a personalised business insurance service that is tailored to your needs. After all, there is a lot to consider when choosing the best type of insurance for your business. If you store stock, you may want to cover your goods against theft or damage at your shop or home. You may also need cover for goods that are being sent by post. Increasingly, many businesses are online-only shops, sp protecting yourself against cyber attacks will be a high priority. No matter what you need, our team is ready to help you build the most appropriate insurance solution for your business.

A dedicated account manager, who will always be your first point of contact.
A detailed and comprehensive review of your risks before we look for insurance.
Completely unbiased advice.
