Will event insurance cost me less if I cut out my broker and go direct to Event Assured?
No. When presented with the same information and same event, we quote the same terms for clients who come to us via a broker.
Is Event Assured a broker or underwriter?
We are both, although we are not an insurer. We provide client service as a broker, but have certain facilities under agreements (called "binding authorities" or "delegated authorities") with certain insurers where we have authority to underwrite and accept risks on their behalf within agreed parameters. The terms of these authorities are designed to offer excellent products at competitive premiums, and are regularly reviewed to ensure that we are carrying out a fair analysis. The insurers are underwriters at Lloyd's or "A rated" insurance companies
So if Event Assured has binding authorities, are you only able to place insurance with the one underwriter?
Certainly not. Sometimes a risk is outside the parameters of the agreement, so we involve alternative insurers or underwriters in Lloyd's. We are not tied to one insurer, and since we are not owned by an insurer, we have no obligation to place the insurance with them. Having said that, we know that our scheme underwriters are amongst the best in the world at what they do, so can generally recommend them for most events.
