Going to ... Simply Business
Building a business can be tough (especially on your wallet) so we’ve worked with our partners to create some exclusive Simply Business benefits, to help with the essentials.
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.
Simply Business - Insurance for your business
About your business
What is your specific trade/profession?
We need to know what your business does and how it works.
Do you have a secondary trade/profession?
What does 'an extra trade/profession' mean?
Maybe you're a carpenter, but also offer electrical work. Or, your main trade/profession is dog grooming but you also provide dog walking, too.
An extra trade/profession, on top of your main one as part of this business.
This could be your home, or a separate office - it should be where you run your business from, and where you keep your tools, contents and/or stock.
If you're a mobile business or work from your customers' premises, it will usually be your home postcode.
Why are we asking?
Our panel of insurers may use your business postcode when working out your quote, especially if you want to cover tools, contents and/or stock.
Where you run your business from.
How many years have you been running your own business in this industry?
