Ready-Made Cover Packages & Fully Tailored Policy Builds

Pre-set protection for every stage. Or assemble the policy yourself, line by line.

Best for: Pre-revenue or Seed-stage teams that need basic compliance to hire or sign a lease.

Covers the ground your first office lease and first three hires will ask about — foundational general liability plus business property, so a landlord's certificate request never blocks a move-in date. Lean enough that you are not paying for board cover you do not have a board for yet.

EPLI

Best for: Teams raising institutional capital, signing enterprise paper, or finishing a SOC 2 audit.

Built for the quarter after the round closes. Directors & Officers cover satisfies the term sheet condition most institutional boards insist on, while Tech E&O and Cyber together clear the security addendum that lands with every enterprise contract. Your board seats and your codebase move under the same policy year.

Best for: Late-stage companies with large headcount, complex infrastructure, or a listing on the horizon.

The widest bundle we write. Higher limits across the board, Employment Practices cover sized for hiring in the hundreds, and Fiduciary cover for the retirement plan you just rolled out. Designed to hold up under diligence in several jurisdictions at once and to answer the questions bankers ask in the first meeting.

CGLD&OTech E&O CyberFiduciaryMedia EPLIHNOA+

Best for: Regulated or unusual sectors — payments, clinical AI, marketplaces holding funds.

No two risk profiles match, so limits and lines are yours to set. Add specialised AI liability, media cover for a large content operation, or a foreign admitted layer for the office you just opened abroad. An underwriter walks the contract with you and prices only what the counterparty actually requires.

Core Cover for Every Growth Stage

Eight lines you can bind the same afternoon, and twelve more our underwriters quote by hand.
