Avoiding the risk of underinsurance

Did you know 19% of businesses haven’t reviewed their indemnity period in the last two years? Despite this, 91% of SMEs believe they have the right level of cover in place*.

What is underinsurance?

If your business is underinsured, your company’s assets are being insured at less than their true worth, leaving you inadequately protected. Therefore, in the event of a disaster, you would be compensated for less than the true value of your loss.

That’s not what you want to hear when you are making a claim. Click here to read more about underinsurance

Testimonial Quotes
This is my 2nd year of working with Partners&. Jamie Brock has been really beneficial for us at the surgery. We now have cyber and locum insurance in place. He has a really positive approach to looking at what is best for us as a practice and takes the time to explain the policies in understandable terms. I definitely recommend Jamie and Partners& and will be looking to them again next year when we are due to renew again.

Carl, Practice Business Manager, Penarth

I manage two practices, and both practices now work with Partners& for our locum and business insurance cover. Partners& provide excellent value for money, with the premiums being far cheaper than any other insurance provider we have worked with in the past. This value for money, combined with their excellent market knowledge and outstanding customer care, means that we would not consider working with any other company.

Jamie, Practice Manager, Chester

I contacted Partnersand following a recommendation from another Practice Manager and I had a call back straight away. The whole process of setting up locum insurance, building insurance and cyber security had given me sleepless nights. After a single phone call with Jamie and a couple of brief emails, it was all done with a huge saving too. I cannot thank Jamie enough for his help in making a tedious job so much easier - Thank you.

Jamie has worked within healthcare his entire insurance career, from primary care up to multi-site care homes and national domiciliary care businesses. Having always had an interest in healthcare, Jamie takes the time to understand care packages, treatments and types of service used at each business. Every care business is different, which means a one size fits all approach doesn’t work. Care and attention is paramount to this sector and I’m passionate about getting it right first time.
