Case studies

A complex refurbishment of a large listed terrace of offices and shops into 205 student apartments — around £10m of works on an existing £22m building, completed in just four months. With such a tight build window, cover needed to be in place fast to ensure no significant works began before insurers could inspect. Strip-out had already started by the time we became involved, but we placed cover with a suitable warranty provider and continue to manage insurer audits throughout the build, ensuring the policy meets both the client’s and their legal team’s requirements.

Large-scale Build to Rent development

Birmingham
A developer had arranged NHBC warranty cover directly for a 200-unit development, but a cabling issue on one unit meant NHBC couldn’t sign it off, leaving the property unsellable. We took the time to understand the issue, worked with alternative warranty providers, and secured a warranty that met mortgage lender requirements, unlocking the sale and resolving the deadlock.

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.

What makes your insurance schemes different?

Our schemes are designed around the specific needs of the industries we serve and include specialist extensions and policy enhancements that may not be available through standard market products.

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.

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.
