Ventures Insurance: Top 5 questions to ask your broker

Ventures is built for those creating, backing and advising high growth businesses. Whether you’re a founder navigating early traction, a scale up preparing for rapid expansion, an investor backing ambitious teams, or an advisor supporting businesses through funding, growth or exit, the risks you face evolve fast. We work alongside the venture ecosystem to provide clear, commercial insurance advice that keeps pace with innovation - protecting value, enabling momentum, and supporting confident decision making at every stage of the journey.

Choosing a broker isn’t about how they look or how loudly they market - it’s about what they actually deliver. Here are five questions every growing business should ask to ensure you get the claims support, cross border capability, sector expertise, negotiation power and transaction cover you deserve.

1. How will you handle my claims when something goes wrong?

Why ask: Claims are the moment of truth for insurance risk management, clients need advocacy and speed.

What good looks like: A dedicated, in house claims team that runs proactive notifications, tracks SLAs, escalates quickly, and resolves with clear MI reporting.

We provide an in house claims team that actively manages outcomes.

 

2. Can you support us as we expand into new countries?

Why ask: Growth introduces cross border regulations, local market nuances, and multi territory placements.

What good looks like: On the ground local presence outside the UK, licensed capabilities, multilingual experts, and seamless policy coordination across jurisdictions.

We help companies in all territories as they scale, leveraging local teams for compliant, efficient coverage.

 

3. What relevant experience does your team have in my sector and stage of growth?

Why ask: Sector fluency reduces friction, speeds up placement, and improves program design.

What good looks like: An experienced team with case studies, tenure, and demonstrable outcomes for businesses like yours.

We are a seasoned broking team that brings specialist know how and a history of success to high growth and established clients alike.

 

4. How do you leverage your market relationships without slowing us down?

Why ask: Big should mean bold, not bureaucratic. You need reach and leverage, but with the agility to act fast.

What good looks like: A broker that is part of a large company (for reach and leverage) yet nimble in delivery, giving you faster access to decision makers, better terms, and creative structures.

We leverage the power of a larger group, combined with the agility to move quickly to seize market opportunities.

 

5. Can you advise on transaction risk insurance - especially W&I for exits?

Why ask: M&A events are high stakes; specialist cover protects both sellers and buyers.

What good looks like: Expertise in Warranty & Indemnity (W&I) for cross border deals, tight timelines, and tailored limits/deductibles that align to your transaction.

We can place W&I insurance at exit, integrating deal timelines and counterparties for clean, confident outcomes.
