Depending on your business and the insurance you need, there are two ways to get started.

Online insurance, provided by Markel

Why Markel?

Established business insurance expertise

More than 25 years' experience providing specialist insurance solutions in the UK.

Specialist contractor & SME focus

Business insurance designed around the risks faced by contractors, SMEs and specialist sectors.

Support beyond your policy

Eligible policies include access to legal support and practical business resources.

Commercial & specialist insurance

Some businesses need a more specialist approach.

For more complex or specialist requirements, we'll introduce you to Caunce O'Hara Insurance Brokers (COHIBL), an independent commercial insurance broker with specialist expertise across a range of business sectors.

Their team can discuss your requirements and, where appropriate, arrange insurance from the commercial insurance market.

Captivo's role

Captivo acts as an insurance introducer.

We don't arrange insurance contracts, provide regulated insurance advice or hold client money.

For online insurance, the insurance provider is identified during the quotation journey and is responsible for the insurance provided. For commercial and specialist requirements, the authorised insurance broker you're introduced to is responsible for arranging your insurance.

You'll always be able to see who is providing or arranging your insurance before you proceed.

Tell us a little about your business and we'll point you towards the appropriate route.
