Commercial standalone renewal information

Following a review of our minimum premium for this product, we found that the current amount was too low when considering the associated administrational costs. Therefore, a change to our minimum premium was necessary in order to ensure the product remains viable for us and an option for you and your clients going forward.

Options for you and your clients

1. Continue with this product at the new premium

If you wish to continue with this product at the invited premium, there is no need to do anything further. The policy will be renewed and an invoice will be sent for the renewal premium.

2. Move your customer onto an E-Trade product

We currently offer our most exciting new products via E-Trade. We have sector specific products for Trades and Professions, Small Businesses and Property Owners all with variable limits of indemnity up to £500,000. Our products are tailored to the needs of these customers and may offer a more competitive premium.

DAS compatible E-Trade platforms

If you wish to move your customer onto an E-Trade product, you can do so via the following platforms:

1) Acturis, where DAS commercial products are available either standalone or as an ‘add on’ to a commercial policy. If you use Acturis this is the most efficient way to add our cover with minimal fuss

2) DAS Connect, our quote and buy portal. DAS Connect is quick and easy to set up and will enable you to quote, buy, adjust and renew our commercial products online.

Important Information

If you decide to move your customer onto an E-Trade product you must advise us that you wish for the old product to lapse. Failure to do so will mean the policy will be automatically renewed and an invoice generated for the premium. Please contact us to inform us of a lapse, quoting the policy number contained in the renewal schedule.
