Great question and one we can of course help you with! Business insurance premiums are arrived at by the analysis of your likeliness to have a loss. When you apply for coverage, your information will be analysed by an underwriter who is responsible for determining whether or not they will consider writing a policy for you. Each business has completely different circumstances and we highly advise you to get in contact with us so we can understand and advise in the best possible way.

There are two main ways you can pay your insurance: the full sum to cover the next 12 months upfront, or in 12 monthly instalments over an annual period.

The major drawback to monthly payments is paying by instalment usually makes the total cost of cover higher than it would be if you paid in one go. This is because the insurance company is effectively lending you the money to pay the premium, so it will charge you what amounts to interest on the repayments you make across the year.

By paying In full you are clearing your entire payment all in one go, meaning the insurance company won’t have to lend you the money and you won’t be due any premiums on the loan.

We hate call centres as much as you! Our phones will never be answered by a call centre and only by a staff member. You only deal with your allocated account advisor, so you know who you will be dealing with every time you need to reach out to us.

With any type of cover it is important to present insurers with all the information that will or could possibly affect the way they look at the risk. If this is not provided, insurers have the right to walk away from a claim, to change terms at the time of a claim, or reduce an amount paid depending on which law the insurance adheres to.

A good insurance broker (like AIC) should not be afraid to ask the right questions of a potential policy holder, or suggest ideas that will help in the risk management of the cover in question. Insurance is there to help you in the event of a problem, and it makes no sense to cut corners on something so important. We’re here to help you!

Using a dedicated insurance broker provides benefits completely unseen when using a comparison site. With AIC, you’re afforded your own dedicated account manager who specialises in the cover you are seeking. Getting to know our clients is paramount to our customer service dedication and getting to know you AND your requirements is part of that. When you use a price comparison website, you are quite literally just a number and just a click-cost.

AIC has various insurers with different rules, and the age of the vehicle can change from one insurer to another. Typically, and historically the age of a vehicle classed as a classic car for insurance purposes was 20 years, but we’ve seen insurers offering as low as 10 years old for certain collectible makes, so best to give us a call to discuss your requirements.

We at AIC always recommend to air on the side of caution, and disclose everything to ourselves, and we can help you decide if this information needs to be told to insurers, which normally it does.

There are different rules to follow from various sources, as an insurer may ask you to declare convictions in the last 10 years, whereas the rehabilitation act may dictate that you don’t need to declare it for more than say 5 years. DVLA may give you a different answer again for motoring convictions! Talk to one of our friendly consultants and let us help you.

Some parts of cover are legal requirements, such as the Liability cover section, but most of some insurance packages are just good business sense.

We at AIC can normally offer various cover packages, starting with just the bare bone legal requirements and then build up from there. But it’s often just as cheap to buy ‘off the shelf’ packages of cover that give a wide scope of protection for smaller businesses, than trying to isolate just what is the legal requirement. As always its best to talk to one of our friendly staff, so we can talk you through the options.

There is no quick answer here, although it can be a lot cheaper than people think. For example Liability insurance for a tradesperson starts at under £75 for the year.

Firstly you should think about the risks, and what you want to cover, plus we can help you understand what your legal requirements are, so then your able to form an idea of what your overall cover requirement is. With this information we at AIC can quickly asses cost from our vast array of insurers, to get you the best market price.

Good question, and it depends on exactly what type of business you are running. Perhaps you are only trading online, or you’re open to the public. One of the basic covers to start with would be Liability insurance, and this can be set to protect the Public, Employees or Products. Then there’s your premises which may include the building, business equipment and some stock perhaps.

Great question, and the insurance you need for thatched property is not that different to normal home insurance in what it covers. You still want protection for your most valuable assets being the buildings and/or contents. The real difference is which insurer will you end up with, and how much you’ll pay in premiums. Thatched properties are termed as ‘non-standard’ in the world of insurers, and there’s far less insurers willing to cover them.

We at AIC have access to most insurance carriers willing to quote for Non-Standard homes, and we always recommend you start by having a conversation with one of our experienced staff.

One of the very first questions you will be asked for an insurance quotation is your trade, as this will determine what covers you will need most. A garage fixing cars will want a motor-trade policy covering them for various customer vehicles in their control, whereas an architect may want Professional Indemnity cover to insure their advice given is protected.

Some insurance cover may be a legal requirement such as Employers Liability for staff, or Third Party cover on any road going vehicles.

There’s a long list of various types of policy cover available (examples and links below) and we can talk you through their purpose and cost, and feel free to call one of our friendly consultants.
