What Insurance Brokers Do

A broker's role is to represent the policyholder's interests, from market comparison through to claims advocacy. For complex risks, wording detail and claims advocacy matter as much as headline premium.

Advice is the distinction: an intermediary evaluates the risk presented rather than merely retrieving prices.

How to Choose the Right Insurance Broker

Ask prospective firms which insurers they place your class of risk with and how claims are handled. Ask what happens when a claim is declined; the answer reveals the depth of the service.

Commission levels vary by class and insurer; the firm must be able to explain its remuneration on your policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an insurance broker and a comparison website?

Aggregators match form answers to insurer pricing; a broker provides advice, tailors the cover to the actual risk, and supports you at claim time, a service difference that grows with the complexity of what you are insuring.

Do I need to use an FCA-regulated insurance broker?

Insurance distribution is a regulated activity: authorisation is not optional for the firm. Your check is simple, the FCA register confirms status, permissions and trading names in minutes.

How are insurance brokers paid?

Commission built into the premium is the norm, sometimes with a separate fee. Fair-value rules apply to the whole distribution chain, and the firm must explain its remuneration on request.

What should I bring to a first meeting with an insurance broker?

For personal cover: current policy documents, five years of claims history, and details of what you are insuring. For commercial: company details, turnover, existing schedules and claims experience, plus anything unusual about the risk.

Can an insurance broker help me if my claim is rejected?

Supporting contested claims is where broking proves its worth: reviewing the decline, negotiating with the insurer, and advising on Ombudsman referral if the answer stands.
