Independent Insurance Broker in Preston

IC Insurance Solutions is an independent insurance broker in Preston, helping businesses across Preston, Lancashire and the wider North West understand their insurance requirements and explore suitable commercial insurance options. Our team provides support by phone, email and online, making it straightforward to discuss your business insurance needs.


Commercial Insurance Broker for Businesses in Preston

Preston is home to businesses across a wide range of sectors, from construction and trades to retail, professional services, manufacturing, hospitality and transport. Each type of business can face different risks, so insurance requirements can vary considerably.

A contractor working at customer premises may need to consider liability, tools, equipment and commercial vehicles. A professional services firm may have exposures associated with advice or services provided to clients. Retail and hospitality businesses may have premises, stock, employees and customer-related risks to consider, while businesses operating vehicles may require commercial motor or fleet insurance.


As a commercial insurance broker in Preston, IC Insurance Solutions can help you review these considerations and identify areas where insurance may be relevant to your business.


Understanding Your Business Insurance Needs

Insurance should be considered in the context of how your business actually operates. Factors such as your activities, turnover, number of employees, premises, vehicles, equipment, contracts and previous claims can all influence the cover required.

Your requirements can also change over time. Expanding into new services, moving premises, employing additional staff, purchasing vehicles or taking on new contractual responsibilities may mean your existing insurance arrangements need to be reviewed.


IC Insurance Solutions can help you understand these considerations and navigate the commercial insurance market when arranging new cover or reviewing an existing policy.

Insurance requirements can differ significantly between industries. IC Insurance Solutions can discuss commercial insurance requirements for businesses such as:

Why Use an Independent Insurance Broker in Preston?

Working with an independent insurance broker can give a business access to professional support when comparing and arranging commercial insurance. Instead of approaching insurance as a standard package, an insurance broker can first consider the business activities and risks involved and then help identify relevant insurance options.
IC Insurance Solutions began in 2009 and has developed from providing life and financial services insurance into working with individuals and companies on personal and business insurance requirements. The company states that its role is to help customers understand their insurance needs and navigate an increasingly complex insurance market.
For Preston businesses, this means insurance discussions can take place remotely without the need to travel to a broker's office.
