SME Business News

Specialist insurers Hiscox, and brokers Allison & Partners, have this week launched a partnership aimed specifically at offering insurance to small businesses and SMEs.

The partnership will go under the banner of INSPIRE and will specialise in professional insurances for UK and European small and medium size businesses.

The company will offer a range of business and business related products, tailored to individual companies needs. Insurance cover will be available for emerging professions, such as, IT, Marketing and Management consultants.

Covers are industry specific and include professional indemnity, internet and e mail insurance, directors and officers’ liability as well as complete office packages that include building, contents and business interruption cover.

The company will be run by former recruitment professionals, who say they understand the needs of this market. Lets hope that this facility is available for the smaller businesses that are currently being refused the appropriate business insurance, because they are too small, or being ripped off for cover they don’t really need.

INSPIRE will be available from Allison & Partners offices in London and Essex and it’s products available direct or through brokers.
