Axa has acquired Independent's small commercial risks site, business-risk.com for an undisclosed sum.

The site offers cover for risks such as hotels, shops and small manufacturing companies.

The 17-strong team responsible for the site's development will all be kept on.

They will stay temporarily at their Edenbridge office before being relocated to Axa offices.

Axa's programme director, strategic programmes, Clare Duggan said: “Using the site will save brokers considerable time, enabling them to receive both confirmation of cover and the policy documents over the net.”
