SME insurance vs large business insurance

Our business insurance solutions are designed for all types of organisations. The SME page helps smaller businesses understand their core protection needs, while the Large Business page explains how we support more complex operations.

SME business insurance

SME business insurance is designed for small and growing businesses with relatively straightforward operations. It focuses on essential protection such as liability, property and business interruption, with flexibility to adapt as the business evolves.

Large business insurance

Large business insurance is built for organisations with higher values, multiple locations, specialist risks or complex contractual and governance requirements. Cover is typically bespoke, with tailored limits, multiple insurers and ongoing risk management support.

What SMEs should prepare before getting a quote

Before getting a business insurance quote, it helps to have a few details ready. A short overview of the work you do, the number of employees you have, your estimated annual turnover and the value of your equipment or stock all make a difference. It is also useful to share your previous claims history and let us know if you use vehicles or work offsite. Having this information upfront allows us to give you clearer guidance and provide more accurate advice, faster.
