Our policies encompass all aspects of corporate cover, from business building insurance, business equipment
insurance to business interruption insurance, from business contents insurance, business liability cover
and employee insurance to business owner insurance.
Over the past years Performance Direct for Business has grown and, in that time, we've seen many of
our clients grow too. And as they have, their insurance needs have changed reflecting changes in their
businesses, with more employees and diversifying activities.
Also of course, the nature or goods and services being covered has changed. New technology, IT, the
internet and the digital world has revolutionised the types of insurance cover required and, now that
so many corporate assets and records are stored and secured within computers, specialist policies have
had to be created to address these needs. Nowadays, for example, the loss of email and computer systems
can cripple many businesses and this has to be reflected in cover.
As a family run commercial insurance broker, but employing over 130 people, Performance
Direct for Business has ability to grow with our clients; we're still small enough to offer exceptional
levels of customer service but we're now large enough to offer a choice of policies from all the major
underwriters and all the best insurance and corporate assurance cover. Whether firms are looking to
buy cheap business insurance now, or if they simply want good advice on UK corporate insurance
cover, our agents are ready and able to help. Also, unlike many commercial brokers, Performance Direct
for Business has embraced the best aspects of new technology – not only do we use the latest office
systems to improve our service we also have a thorough understanding of how new technology affects the
businesses we insure.
As well as many different types of organisations; the list is massive, from insurance for start up and
sole trader companies, like plumbers and hairdressers, to established national firms like high street
retailers, manufacturing and construction companies to those requiring insurance for the motor trade,
Performance Direct for Business provides cheap insurance to business owners and their executives across
Great Britain. As a leading business insurance broker we arrange cover for organisations in London,
Birmingham, Manchester and all across the UK. We also deal with business cover in Scotland, in Glasgow
and Edinburgh and as far north as Wick. We cover a huge variety of insurance risks all with the same
care and attention. On many occasions, although a new risk may not carry a high premium, it will take
a great deal longer for us to administer – it many be an unusual business or an unusual insurance risk.
At Performance Direct for Business we're happy to take the extra time for our business clients because
we know if we try that little bit harder to find the best solutions that we'll be rewarded with satisfied
and, importantly, loyal long term clients.
Loyalty is important in our business, as it is in all walks of life. Although so many newspapers and
commentators encourage shopping around when it comes to insuring businesses, at Performance Direct for
Business we believe in relationships and, as long as we do our best to keep premiums down at renewal,
we think that an ongoing relationship and understanding between business and broker is vital to ensure
the best cover, complete peace of mind and minimal administration at the lowest cost.
Many of Performance Direct for Businesses' clients have been with the company for many years. Typically,
the relationship will start with a simple phone call to our office, perhaps based on a recommendation
(a great deal of our corporate work comes through word of mouth recommendation from other businesses
we cover). These telephone calls will be handled by a member of our business team and then, depending
on the nature of the call and the business involved and the policy required, this will then be referred
to a member of the broking team with specific experience of the insurance cover required.
Obviously with so many different types of businesses requiring cover – some involving specialist risks,
dangerous and hazardous goods – we ensure clients are offered the best levels of brokerage expertise.
If you add up the years' of insurance and assurance experience under Performance Direct for Business's
roof it comes to many hundreds so, when clients call us, they are guaranteed a broad knowledge base,
experienced customer care and expert service. Despite all the computerised systems, internet quote engines
and business price comparison web sites, its still good people that make for great customer service
and peace of mind and we will never lose sight of that important fact.
Lastly, but crucially, in the event of a claim, Performance Direct for Business works hard to make sure
that claims are settled rapidly and to the satisfaction of all parties. It is, of course, when business
claims have to be made, that the true value of our service and the quality of our underwriters and cover
become apparent. Once again, in this area of commercial broking, experience counts, as do the relationships
we maintain, both with the customers who buy insurance and the underwriters who, ultimately, are required
to pay out on the policies they issue.
In consumer circles, insurance is often referred to as a ‘distress purchase' or, in other terminology,
it's not something we want, just something we have to have! As far as corporations are concerned we'd
disagree; with the right agents, the best comprehensive cover can provide a solid financial foundation
for the whole business. It's fundamental to a solid commercial operation.
So, from small businesses looking to buy cover for the first time, to large companies – manufacturers,
retailers, financial services, factories, service organisations and consultancies – for the best cover
at the lowest cost, Performance Direct for Business offers the one stop solution. And our commercial
insurance brokers are only a phone call away. We look forward to talking to you about your decision
to buy business insurance.
