TiffToff88 Posted 23 March 2017 Share Posted 23 March 2017 I recently went self employed but cant seem to get any insurance. Admittedly i've only been on Compare the Market so far, but after filling in the forms and requesting a quote, i got a message saying "We are unable to find any Insurance Quotes based on the information you have provided. Has anyone else had this sort of trouble getting insurance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BecGriff9 Posted 23 March 2017 Share Posted 23 March 2017 It's a bit of a minefield, especially as you have only just gone self employed, from previous experience I would avoid compare sites and go direct to insurance companies. AXA are pretty good normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Hero Posted 23 March 2017 Share Posted 23 March 2017 100% agree talk to a broker and don't use a comparison site. Broker will make sure you have all the coverage you need and can advise you also with regards to compliance with and policy conditions and of course assist if you need to make a claim or a complaint etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realist Guy In The Room Posted 23 March 2017 Share Posted 23 March 2017 Colmore Insurance Brokers. That's one other bit of advice if you have a business and use a broker. Always use an independent. I worked for 2 national brokers and they have agendas that are very much for their own interests and not the clients. Independants work the other way around and always look to the best need of the client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
