While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Very happy with the service!

Found both gentlemen I spoke to very helpful. Both explained everything clearly. I found the process a little bit long winded but was happy when the process was completed.

Agreed terms, they changed their mind and want more money

Originally requiring cover for a dance class AND band, was told this was fine. Then after agreeing terms, SB said this wasn't possible and I would need two policies, effectively doubling the cost.
Have no intention of using SB again.
