My experience was very good. Got a very friendly and knowledgeable person to help me find the Policy that covers all my needs. Everything was done very quickly and the policy runs automatically every year without having to each year answer the same questions again and again. Overall very pleased.

The process of applying for insurance for my small business seemed very straightforward and simple. The cost of the policy seemed very reasonable.
No contact despite request. no customer service. Do not offer competitive price and charge for renewal.

I had a great experience with Simply Business. The whole process was quick, straightforward, and easy to understand. The website was simple to use, and I was able to find the right cover at a competitive price without any hassle. Everything was explained clearly, and the service was efficient from beginning to end. I would definitely recommend Simply Business to anyone looking for business insurance.

I had an amazing experience with Simply Business today, all thanks to Jess from the customer service team! I needed to update my business trade details to 'Builder,' which can sometimes be a stressful and complicated process. However, Jess was incredibly professional, patient, and helpful from the very first second. She guided me through all the technical questions so smoothly and resolved everything in no time.
It is very rare to find this level of care and dedication nowadays. Jess is an absolute asset to Simply Business! If you are looking for great business insurance with top-tier customer support, this is the place. Thank you so much, Jess, for your brilliant help!

Easy and straightforward questions answered almost immediately.
I'm new to business insurance but the information from the two advisers I spoke to was clear and helpful. I have confidence in the level of cover obtained and the price offered.

I would like to give a zero for this company as a one is far too high.
I have made the mistake of ensuring multiple properties with simple business; they have not provided any documents at all just a link that does not work .
I have wasted hours on the phone with them trying to explain the problem, which was met with rude and unhelpful staff trying to tell me there is nothing wrong with their automated platform
I will have to open a case with the ombudsman just to get my documents. This is the very worst insurance company out there. Do not use them

I rang up Simply with a small problem, but they solved it straight away
I find this company really flexible . They are the best at tailoring inexpensive insurance for a small business. On the down side, you better understand the legalese and small print yourself ( or with AI), because their guidance/advise on what your insurance actually means is not always reliable.

Struggling to remove automatic renewal.
Obviously never made a claim so can't tell if it's any good either.

Simple to follow, list of who can cover you. Got the chance to read all the policy's that would be covered before fees go through.
I’ve been a customer for seven years and generally been happy with the pricing. I couldn’t comment on the service as I’ve never made a claim.
But, for the first time, I had to contact SB. Long hold times on the phone meant I tried the chat bot instead. It is a badly programmed, primitive tool that only exists to wind loyal customers up. Finally, eight days later, SB responded to something that should have taken two minutes by phone.
