FAQs

Why clients switch to Acrisure?

As businesses grow and become more specialised, their insurance needs to keep pace, which is why clients turn to Acrisure for specialist, industry-specific expertise, broader access to policy coverage, and proactive advice throughout the year rather than a once-a-year transaction. We ensure your policy delivers genuine value; the right quality of cover, without paying for anything you don’t need and act as a long-term partner, aligning your protection with your contracts, operations and wider business goals as they evolve.

Why choose a specialist broker instead of a general insurance broker?

Specialist brokers understand your trade, contract requirements and common claims scenarios, helping secure more suitable cover.

How do I know if I have gaps in my current insurance cover?

Many businesses don’t discover gaps in cover until a claim occurs. Our review process is designed to identify areas where standard policies may not fully reflect your activities, contracts or risk profile.

We've never made a claim. Why should we review our insurance?

A claims-free history is positive, but it doesn’t guarantee your cover remains suitable. Businesses evolve, contracts change and insurers regularly update policy wordings. Regular reviews help ensure your insurance keeps pace with your business.

My renewal isn't due for several months. Is it worth speaking now?

Yes. Early engagement allows us to understand your business properly, review existing arrangements and explore options well before renewal deadlines.

Can you help if my business has previously struggled to obtain insurance?

Yes. Many of our clients operate in specialist, hazardous or complex sectors where securing suitable cover can be challenging. Our specialist facilities have been designed specifically for these types of businesses.

Can you help with contract reviews and insurance requirements?

Yes. We regularly help clients understand contractual insurance requirements, indemnity clauses and minimum cover expectations imposed by customers and principal contractors.

What information do you need to provide a quotation?

Typically, we require details about your business activities, turnover, wage roll, claims history, existing insurance arrangements and any specialist activities undertaken.

Is the cheapest insurance policy always the best option?

Not necessarily. The true value of an insurance programme is determined by how well it protects your business when something goes wrong. Coverage, policy wording, insurer strength and claims support should all be considered alongside premium.
