Attract higher level investment and backing
The right cover isn’t just about protection. By putting the right Professional Indemnity and Directors’ and Officer’s, Cyber and Crime policy in place, you can make your business look like a lower-risk, more attractive proposition to potential investors.
It can also help you attract and work with a higher level of client. Many high level financial institutions will require you to have a certain level of insurance in place before they’ll do business with you. We can help advise you on the best way to go about this
Stay compliant with regulations
We are well-versed in ensuring that our client’s policies meet all necessary legal requirements set by the FCA and other international regulators.
If you’re unsure how best to make sure your company has the cover you’re legally required to have to do business here in the UK and your overseas operations, we can offer the insight and advice you need.
We work closely with specialist Fintech compliance partners to ensure that our regulatory and compliance knowledge remains cutting edge.
