underinsurance and its dangers

Your business is too important to risk losing it. So, it’s vital to ensure you have the right levels of insurance to protect your business in the event of a claim.

Underinsurance remains a hot topic across the UK, indeed the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) themselves have warned of ‘alarming levels of underinsurance’*. At Towergate we have always offered advice & support to mitigate the risks but in a fast-moving world with an ever changing geopolitical and legal environment, alongside several other economic, social & technological factors, the need for regular reviews has never been greater.

To offer additional support and to raise further awareness in this area we have put together a short animation, information sheets, and question/answer sets (aligned to three common areas of underinsurance).

Together, we can stamp out the dangers of underinsurance.
