Simply Business expands panel with Ventis partnership

Simply Business has partnered with property MGA Ventis to expand its commercial landlord insurance offering.

The partnership will see Ventis, which focuses on SME and mid-market property risks, offer its products through Simply Business’ digital platform.

This includes property damage, loss of rent and property owners’ liability, as well as employers’ liability protection.

The addition means commercial landlord customers can access products from up to 11 insurance brands through Simply Business’ panel.

Julie Fisher, UK chief executive at Simply Business, said: “We’re delighted to announce our partnership with Ventis.

“With a shared understanding of the power of technology and an ambition to make the insurance buying process easier, this partnership signals our continued commitment to delivering simplicity, choice and value for our customers.”

The partnership comes after Simply Business recently reached one million small business and landlord customers in the UK.

Gareth Roberts, chief executive at Ventis, said the partnership would expand access to the MGA’s landlord insurance offering.

He added: ”This partnership reflects our shared commitment to delivering straightforward, dependable insurance solutions backed by responsive underwriting and excellent service.

”We look forward to working closely with Simply Business and supporting its customers with the specialist expertise and long-term approach that sit at the heart of Ventis.”
