Whose products do we offer?

​

Insurance: We offer a range of policies (including business/commercial and landlords insurance) from a limited range of insurers from across the market which does not represent the whole market. A list of insurers we offer policies from is available on request.

Consumer Credit: Where we have arranged an insurance policy on your behalf, we can arrange credit to cover up to 90% of the policy premium. We only arrange credit from a limited range of lenders from across the market, which does not represent the whole market.

Which service will we provide you with?

​

Insurance: We will ask you some questions to help us ascertain your demands and needs, and we will then provide you with sufficient information on what we believe to be ‘a suitable product’, but not necessarily ‘the most suitable product’, for your demands and needs. The information we provide is intended to help you make an informed decision about how to proceed. Ultimately, you will need to make your own decision about how to proceed, and it is your responsibility to ensure that any product that you take out is suitable for your insurance requirements.

Consumer Credit: You will not receive advice or a recommendation from us on the suitability of the provision of credit, unless you are a retail client.

In all cases, we will arrange the product on your behalf.

Disclosure of Information

It is important that you understand that any information, statements, or answers made by you to us or your Insurer are your responsibility and must be correct, as failure to disclose facts material to the insurance or any inaccuracies in your answers may invalidate your insurance cover. These facts must be disclosed at the earliest opportunity and certainly at each renewal. If you are a retail client you are duty bound to avoid any misrepresentation & if you are a commercial client you are duty bound to make a fair representation of risk, (more information is available upon request). Responsibility for this is solely yours as we cannot be expected to have known facts which have not been disclosed to us. Please keep copies of any documentation sent to you for future reference.

Our Remuneration

 

Remuneration for our services is generally a commission which is a percentage of your insurance premium and payable by the insurer. We may charge a fee for our services, as agreed with you, or a combination of commission and fees.

 

We may also receive income from providers of premium financing facilities where we have made such arrangements on your behalf with your agreement.

 

In the event of a policy being cancelled mid-term, and not replaced by another policy, we reserve the right to retain the commission and any fees earned on the original transaction.

 

For each insurance policy, including any subsequent renewal, you have a right to request information regarding any remuneration that we have received as a result of placing your insurance.

Professional Indemnity

We conform to the FCA requirements in respect of Professional Indemnity Insurance. This type of insurance is mandatory for insurance intermediaries.
