What Insurance Brokers Do

Brokers assess the risk, recommend cover levels and place the policy with a suitable underwriter. For complex risks, wording detail and claims advocacy matter as much as headline premium.

A broker's recommendation carries advice obligations that a quote-retrieval service does not.

How to Choose the Right Insurance Broker

Match the firm to the risk: personal lines, SME packages and specialist commercial risks are distinct disciplines. Establish who handles a claim, in-house team or insurer direct, before placing the business.

The cost of broking is usually inside the premium as commission; a breakdown can be requested.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an insurance broker and a comparison website?
A comparison site retrieves quotes from the answers you type; a broker assesses the risk itself, advises on cover levels and exclusions, and takes responsibility for the recommendation, which matters most on non-standard or commercial risks.
Do I need to use an FCA-regulated insurance broker?
Anyone arranging insurance for clients in the UK must hold FCA authorisation, so an unregulated intermediary should not be arranging your cover at all. Check any firm's status on the Financial Services Register before proceeding.
How are insurance brokers paid?
Typically by commission from the insurer, a client fee, or both; FCA rules require remuneration to be disclosed, so ask for the breakdown on your specific policy.
What should I bring to a first meeting with an insurance broker?
Current policies, claims record and asset details cover the personal side; commercial clients should add company information, activity descriptions and any prior claims experience so the broker can present the risk accurately.
Can an insurance broker help me if my claim is rejected?
Yes, claims advocacy is core to the service: the firm can review the insurer's reasoning, challenge the decision with policy-wording arguments, and escalate to the Financial Ombudsman Service where appropriate.
