Simply Business
We’re creating something better
What were you doing in 2005? Likelihood is, the same as us. Starting a new business and handling the puzzles, problems and small wins that come with it. Or maybe you were about to take on your first property rental, and now you’re a seasoned hand.
Either way, we remember what it’s like to be small, and new. And as an insurance broker, that’s what we build things around. With tailored business insurance and landlord insurance, we aim to make protecting your business or rental as simple as possible, with no hint of compromise on quality or cost.
We’re proud of the fact that we’re now the UK’s favourite business insurance broker, with over 475,000 businesses and landlords protected through us. And we’re proud of our award-winning claims service, which is, after all, the proof of the pudding.
