Business Insurance based in Southampton

We’re Knightsure Insurance Brokers – a Southampton-based commercial insurance broker, established for 21 years, offering tailored insurance solutions to a range of businesses. As an independent business insurance broker, our wide ranging market view gives us access to hundreds of policies from the UK’s leading insurers. That means our clients – ranging from independent traders to large companies – get high quality cover at competitive prices.

But our service doesn’t stop there; we look after our clients throughout the term of their policy, maintaining regular contact to stay up to date with their needs, and offering professional assistance with claims-handling.

Investment in technology gives our clients access to instant online business insurance quote and buy facilities when time is of the essence, but our commitment to good old-fashioned customer service means that when you need personalised advice, we’ll take the time to provide it.

Our approach to commercial insurance puts the client at the heart of things, to make sure their policy fits their business – not the other way around.

With over 40 years of insurance experience behind him, Knightsure’s Managing Director, Tony Knight, knows just how important that is when it comes to making sure that clients are properly protected.

Knightsure are members of Broker Network – the UK’s longest-establised network of independent insurance brokers.

This gives us – and our clients – access to specialist business insurance products and preferential rates from some of the UK’s largest insurers.

Business Insurance Regulated by the FSA

The financial industry is regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) which since 14 January 2005 has been responsible for the regulation of General Insurance Intermediaries

The cornerstone of the FSA’s efforts to ensure consumers get a fair deal is “Treating Customers Fairly” (TCF).

Treating customers fairly is the most important principle of the Knightsure Insurance Brokers business ethics. We aim to demonstrate through our management style that we consistently treat our customers fairly.

Our tagline is “Minding Other Peoples Business since 1990″ and this probably sums up our TCF approach. We take a deep interest in our Client’s insurance needs and ensure that any product that we recommend is appropriate in terms of cover, taking care to explain what a policy covers (and importantly, what it does not). We are careful to ensure that a client has adequate information about the insurer and the product at the time of making any cover recommendations. Post sale is just as important and we monitor the continued adequacy of cover throughout the insurance year.

Conflicts of interest can happen (although this is rare) but in the unlikely event of this arising, we have a mechanism in place to manage such a situation to ensure that the customer continues to receive fair treatment.

Knightsure have adopted the industry guidance approved by the Financial Services Authority in relation to transparency, disclosure and conflict of interest in the commercial market in line with the complexity of the business.

By adopting the industry guidance the firm is able to demonstrate the 5 outcomes required by the FSA in a number of ways.

The outcomes required are that the:

Commercial customers should have clear and more comparable information about the commissions we receive
Commercial customers should have clear and more comparable information about the services we provide
Commercial customers should have clear information about the capacity in which we act when arranging business
Commercial customers should be alerted to their right to request commission information
Commercial customers should be made aware of the involvement of any intermediary we use in a chain when arranging their insurances

Charges

In addition to the amount charged by insurers we reserve the right to make charges to cover the administration of your insurance up to the maximum amounts shown in our terms of business.

We also reserve the right to waive or reduce these charges at our discretion.

In certain circumstances, we may charge an arrangement fee not exceeding 30% of the premium but will advise you of the actual amount at the time of quotation or renewal.

These fees may be subject to change. Where there are charges, we will confirm this clearly and the actual amount will always be disclosed to you before you commit to purchasing the product.

As insurance brokers, we earn our income predominantly from commission paid to us by insurers based on the amount they charge you.

You are entitled, at any time, to request information regarding any commission which we may have received as a result of placing or renewing your insurance cover.

We may occasionally receive additional remuneration from certain insurers for insurance policies we place with them.
