Insurance made easy for micro businesses and landlords

No two small businesses are the same, so why should they live with one-size-fits-all insurance? That’s why Simply Business was formed.

We’ve grown from a startup ourselves to provide insurance to over 800,000 small and micro firms and landlords – never losing sight of their unique and individual needs.

Tradespeople, shops, residential landlords, pubs, the self-employed – you name them, we insure them. And we make it all happen with the help of our UK-based contact centre full of experts, market-leading technology, and partnerships with a range of trusted names in insurance.
