We earn a commission if someone takes out a Simply Business insurance policy through us. But our relationship with Simply Business will never affect the price you pay for business or landlord insurance.

Simply Business is an insurance broker, not an insurance provider. This means it connects small businesses and self-employed workers with appropriate insurers and policies, but it doesn’t actually provide the insurance policies itself.

It works with many leading UK insurers, including Churchill, Aviva, AIG and Zurich.

You can make an insurance claim through the Simply Business website or by giving them a call.

They will ask you to fill in some online forms detailing what you're claiming for. Someone will then be in contact to process the claim.

Most claims can be sorted quickly and easily. If there are any complications that means the process will take longer than average, Simply Business will inform you of this when you first submit your claim. Having all the information you need to hand, including your policy number and the details of your claim, will speed up the process.

Most claims are settled by either a payment or by arranging for a contractor coming in to fix whatever has gone wrong.

If your claim is successful, payments will be made within 24 hours.

88%* of business insurance claims made by MoneySuperMarket customers were accepted last year.

No, not every company can be included in our service. This is because some companies don’t want their products included on comparison sites, and some decide that they would rather not pay a fee. There are also a few smaller providers who can struggle to cope with the volume of customers that can find their products if they appear on MoneySuperMarket.
