Why do I need this?

  • R&D provides broad, flexible coverage in an easy to understand format for scientific research companies throughout their life-cycle.
  • It allows cover to be tailored around individual business models and risk profiles and can be adapted easily as and when this changes. This is particularly beneficial for 'virtual companies' where a lot of physical work is undertaken by supply chain partners, for companies moving from pre-clinical research to start clinical trials, and for companies providing a blend of products and services to their customers.
  • For start-up companies, we have a two page application process that gives these fledgling companies a simple, basic, cost effective package of cover that can be built upon as they develop.
