How does an insurance broker work?
An insurance broker helps you find and arrange cover by understanding your needs, comparing suitable options and explaining the terms. UK brokers are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
Broker vs comparison site
A comparison site shows prices for standard risks. A broker can help with businesses, unusual properties and questions a form cannot answer.
How brokers are paid
Usually through commission from the insurer, sometimes with a fee. You can ask what we receive.
Help at claim time
A broker can help you report a claim and deal with the insurer.
