Allianz UK has partnered with digital insurance broker Supercript to simplify the online path to cover for small businesses, landlords and tradespeople. The delegated authority agreement sees Allianz provide capacity for Supercript’s landlord and tradespeople propositions.

The venture will be dual branded with Superscript providing the front end digital experience and Allianz supplying the capacity, underwriting capability and claims handling resource.

Josh Linden, head of digital distribution at Allianz UK, said: “Small businesses want insurance that is straightforward, accessible and built around how they operate. Working with Superscript allows us to combine a modern digital buying experience with Allianz’s underwriting and claims expertise, giving customers a simpler way to access quality commercial cover.”

Tori Butler, managing director of SME insurance at Superscript, added: “By combining trusted and competitive cover with Superscript’s award-winning digital broking capabilities, customers can access competitive insurance in minutes, with the flexibility to buy and manage their cover online.”
