    5 Most Common Insurance Claims Facing UK SMEs

    When businesses think about risk, they often picture rare, dramatic events. In reality, the insurance claims that hit UK small and medium-sized enterprises hardest are far more ordinary – and far more frequent. Understanding where claims most commonly arise is the first step to making sure your cover is working as hard as your business does.

    The 5 Most Common Insurance Claims for UK SMEs

    1. Motor Claims

    Vehicle-related incidents are among the most frequent insurance claims for businesses that rely on a fleet or company vehicles. This covers everything from minor collisions and third-party damage through to vehicle theft. Whether you run a single van or a multi-vehicle fleet, adequate motor cover protects your mobility and your bottom line.

    2. Property Damage

    Fires, floods, burst pipes, and accidental damage to premises or equipment can strike any business at any time. Property damage claims can be significant – not just in repair costs, but in lost productivity while operations are disrupted. Ensuring your buildings and contents are accurately valued is critical to a swift recovery.

    3. Liability Claims

    Liability claims span a wide range: public liability (injuries to customers or third parties), product liability (harm caused by goods you supply), professional indemnity (errors in advice or services), and employers’ liability (workplace injuries to staff). Any of these can lead to costly legal proceedings without the right protection in place.

    4. Cyber Incidents

    Cyber threats are a growing reality for UK SMEs. Data breaches, ransomware attacks, and phishing scams can cripple operations, damage customer trust, and trigger regulatory penalties. Cyber insurance has moved from a niche product to an essential layer of protection for businesses of all sizes.

    5. Business Interruption

    When operations grind to a halt – due to a covered loss, a supplier failure, or an unexpected disruption – the financial consequences can mount quickly. Business interruption insurance replaces lost income during downtime, giving you the breathing room to recover without draining your reserves.

    Why the Right Cover Changes Everything

    Having insurance is one thing – having insurance that actually fits your business is another.

    When your cover is tailored to your specific operations, sector, and risk profile, claims become manageable rather than catastrophic. The right policy means:

    • No coverage gaps that slow down or complicate your claim
    • Faster recovery because your insurer understands your business
    • Less stress when incidents occur, so you can focus on getting back to work

    How Readhunt Helps UK SMEs Stay Protected

    At Readhunt, we combine sector-specific expertise with efficient claims management. From construction and logistics to manufacturing and engineering, we guide SMEs through every step of the process – making claims smoother, faster, and less disruptive.

    We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all policies. We take the time to understand your operations, your sector risks, and your exposures, so you’re never over-insured, under-insured, or caught out.

    Tailored solutions. Appropriate insurance. Expert claims support. That’s how SMEs stay resilient.

    Meet the Team: Laura Barker – Growing with Readhunt

    Laura Barker’s career at Readhunt is a true example of progression, consistency, and commitment. Born and raised in Barnsley, Laura joined Readhunt straight from school in September 2014 at just 16 years old – and nearly 12 years later, she’s now our Trading Manager.

    Starting as an office junior apprentice, Laura supported the team with day-to-day admin, post, and general office duties. From those early foundations, she steadily built her career within the business, progressing into an Account Handler role and now leading the trading function while continuing to manage her own client renewals and new business.

    “Starting at the very bottom and working my way up has taken a lot of determination, effort, and consistency.”

    Building knowledge and experience

    Laura has developed her career entirely within insurance, gaining hands-on experience alongside professional qualifications. She achieved her Cert CII qualification in early 2020, alongside Level 2 qualifications in Business Administration and Customer Service, building the technical and customer-focused skillset she brings to her role today.

    With particular expertise in Commercial Motor Insurance, Laura plays a key role in managing major group commercial clients, overseeing renewals, supporting new business, and maintaining strong relationships with both clients and insurers. In late 2024, she also took on responsibility for company accounts, further broadening her role within the business.

    Leading by example

    As Trading Manager, Laura is responsible for managing the team, allocating workloads, and supporting colleagues – all while remaining closely involved in the work herself. Known for her approachable nature and highly organised working style, she believes effective leadership comes from understanding every role within the team.

    “I always make sure I can still do the tasks I now delegate – it helps me lead more effectively and appreciate the effort behind every job.”

    Laura describes herself as competitive, reliable, and hard-working, while colleagues often describe her as knowledgeable, kind, and organised. Her ability to adapt has been key throughout nearly 12 years of changes within the office, the team, and the wider insurance industry.

    A standout moment in Laura’s journey was winning the Secret Weapon Award, recognising her contribution to the business and boosting her confidence as she stepped into her Trading Manager role.

    What success means to Laura

    For Laura, success is simple – enjoying what you do.

    “I genuinely enjoy coming to work and the challenges I face every day. That enjoyment drives my performance and progression.”

    Her vision is to continue growing, adding value to Readhunt, and pushing herself toward new challenges. Laura doesn’t believe in standing still – once one goal is achieved, she’s already focused on the next.

    Life outside the office

    Outside of work, Laura enjoys hiking with her partner, family, and friends, having already completed Snowdon and Scafell Pike, with Ben Nevis next on the list. She’s also a Sheffield Steelers season ticket holder, enjoys socialising over food and drinks, and is currently renovating her first home. Recently, she’s returned to running – hoping to rediscover the fitness levels she had competing in cross-country as a teenager.

    Looking ahead

    Looking to the future, Laura believes Readhunt’s continued success lies in strong teamwork, continuous learning, and outstanding customer relationships. Her values closely align with those of her colleagues: providing exceptional service, building genuine long-term relationships, and always being there when clients need support.

    Laura’s journey is a clear example of how dedication, consistency, and passion can shape a successful career – and we’re proud to have her as such an integral part of the Readhunt team.

  • Cyber Insurance Checklist 2026

    Cyber Insurance Checklist 2026

    Download Cyber Insurance Checklist

    In 2025, 43% of UK businesses reported experiencing a cyber security breach or attack according to UK government research. That’s roughly 612,000 businesses. Make sure you’re protected by using our cyber insurance checklist here to see if you need cyber insurance coverage or a review of your existing insurance.

    Why Cyber Risk Affects Every Business

    Tick all that apply to your business:

    ☐ You use email for business communication

    ☐ You store customer, employee or supplier data

    ☐ You use accounting, payroll, CRM or cloud systems

    ☐ You accept card or online payments

    ☐ You rely on IT systems to operate day‑to‑day

    ☐ You use Microsoft 365, Google Workspace or similar platforms

    ☐ You have remote or hybrid staff

    ☐ You work with third‑party IT providers

    ☐ You have a website or online presence

    ☐ You could not afford several days of system downtime

    ☐ You would struggle to recover from a ransomware demand

    ☐ You are responsible for protecting personal or confidential data

    If you have ticked any of the above, your business is exposed to cyber risk.

    Cyber crime now affects every business, with SMEs the primary target in 2026. Even a single email account, laptop, cloud login or staff member can be enough to expose a business to attack – no online shop, large customer base or database required.

    Top 5 Cyber Risks for UK Businesses

    • Ransomware attacks locking systems and data
    • Phishing and impersonation emails, including increasingly convincing AI-driven attacks
    • Data breaches involving customer or employee information
    • Cloud system hacks, malware and spyware infections
    • Supplier and third-party system breaches

    Real Consequences Businesses Without Cyber Insurance Can Face:

    • £10,000–£250,000+ recovery costs
    • Ransom payments
    • PR and reputation damage
    • Closure in severe cases
    • Business interruption and lost revenue due to loss of customer trust, contract cancellations, potential legal fees and regulartory fines

    Many businesses never fully recover from a serious cyber incident without cyber Insurance.

    What Cyber Insurance Typically Covers

    A comprehensive cyber policy can be tailored to your business with cover from as little as £100.

    Why Prevention Alone Is Not Enough

    Firewalls, antivirus and training are important – but no system is 100% secure. Even the best‑protected businesses suffer breaches. Cyber insurance ensures that when the worst happens, your business is supported financially, legally and operationally.

    What Next?

    If you would like a no‑obligation cyber risk review or quotation, our team would be pleased to help.

    Cyber threats are evolving every day – make sure your protection evolves with them.

  • Strategic Financial Planning for UK SMEs in 2026: How to Support Your Business Through Protection and Finance

    Strategic Financial Planning for UK SMEs in 2026: How to Support Your Business Through Protection and Finance

    As UK businesses look ahead to 2026, many are reassessing how they plan, protect and fund their operations.

    The landscape remains challenging. Rising costs, ongoing economic uncertainty, evolving customer expectations and the need to invest carefully all require a more considered, strategic approach.

    At Readhunt, we see this every day in our conversations with clients and strategic financial planning for UK SMEs is critical as business costs mount.

    Beyond Insurance Alone

    Insurance plays a critical role in protecting businesses from risk – but it is only one part of the picture.

    Increasingly, successful businesses are thinking about how finance and insurance work together to support stability, flexibility and growth.

    Used strategically, finance can help businesses:

    • Manage cashflow pressures
    • Invest in equipment or infrastructure
    • Navigate seasonal trading
    • Create contingency for uncertainty
    • Support controlled, sustainable growth

    A Shared Approach to Business Support

    As part of SRT & Partners, Readhunt works closely with First Business Finance – a specialist asset finance and business funding adviser that shares our people-first values.

    Like Readhunt, First Business Finance focuses on:

    • Understanding the business first
    • Providing tailored, practical advice
    • Long-term relationships over short-term transactions
    • Clear, transparent communication

    Together, this allows for more joined-up conversations around risk, funding and planning.

    Why a Joined-Up Approach Matters

    When insurance and finance are considered together, businesses often benefit from:

    • Better visibility of risk exposure
    • Funding structures aligned to real trading patterns
    • Improved decision-making
    • Reduced duplication and complexity
    • More confidence in future planning

    It’s not about selling products – it’s about creating clarity.

    Looking Ahead

    As businesses plan for 2026, now is a sensible time to review not just protection, but also how funding could support your wider strategy.

    At Readhunt, our role remains the same:

    To provide clear, personal advice that helps businesses focus on what they do best – while knowing they are properly supported behind the scenes.

  • Who’s Behind Readhunt? Meet Tony Saunders, Our Managing Director

    Who’s Behind Readhunt? Meet Tony Saunders, Our Managing Director

    Tony Saunders, Readhunt’s Managing Director, believes in leading by example. At Readhunt, we often get asked: “What makes your approach to insurance different?” The answer is simple — people. We’re a customer-first business, proud of the trusted, long-term relationships we build with every client. Each business we work with has a dedicated insurance advisor who understands their sector, their challenges, and delivers tailored insight and advice that truly fits their business.

    This week, we’re putting the spotlight on Tony Saunders, our Managing Director, whose journey reflects the values at the heart of Readhunt.

    A Journey Rooted in Experience

    Born and raised in Sheffield, Tony started his career in personal lines insurance, becoming a branch manager at just 21. A brief spell in construction allowed him to support his young family, but he returned to insurance at 28, joining Readhunt as a broker. Rising through the ranks, he became a Director in 2013 and proudly stepped into the Managing Director role in 2024.

     “When you genuinely enjoy what you do, success follows naturally.”

    Vision and Values

    Tony’s vision for Readhunt is to continue building a truly independent, service-driven brokerage that puts people first – clients and team alike. His goal is for every client to feel valued, known, and confident that they can always speak to someone who understands their needs.

    For him, success isn’t just about growth or numbers – it’s about setting the standard for service, trust, and personal relationships, and extending that people-first approach as the business grows.

    Strengths and Leadership Style

    Described by colleagues as caring, supportive, and hard-working, Tony is a strong listener who adapts to meet the needs of clients and his team. He believes that strong relationships are the foundation of great service, both internally and externally.

    His career has taught him a key lesson: loving what you do provides the drive, resilience, and determination to succeed, no matter the challenges.

    Life Beyond Insurance

    Outside the office, Tony has been coaching junior football for over 16 years, running a local grassroots club with more than 200 children. He enjoys family life, walking the dog, travel, trying new restaurants, and watching sport. Balancing family and work has been a guiding principle, allowing him to give his best both professionally and personally.

    Fun fact: as a child, he thought he wanted to be a barrister – a career path he soon realised wasn’t for him. Instead, he found his true passion in insurance, proving that finding purpose at work makes all the difference.

    Looking Ahead

    The future of Readhunt is shaped by an unwavering commitment to clients, open and proactive communication, and the personal service that has defined the business since its beginnings. Tony believes that growth should never come at the expense of trust, care, and meaningful client relationships.

    At Readhunt, it’s simple: people buy from people. Our clients trust us because our advisors know their sector, understand their needs, and provide insurance advice that truly protects their business. And it’s leaders like Tony who ensure that every interaction is personal, informed, and service-driven.

  • Why UK SMEs Should Review Their Corporate Insurance Today

    Why UK SMEs Should Review Their Corporate Insurance Today

    UK SMEs should review their corporate insurance – and the new year provides the perfect opportunity to take stock, reset priorities and reduce unnecessary risks. While many businesses review budgets, staffing and growth plans in January, insurance is often overlooked – even though it plays a critical role in protecting cash flow, reputation and long‑term resilience.

    At Readhunt, we regularly see businesses that are either under‑insured, leaving them exposed to serious financial loss, or over‑insured, paying for cover they simply don’t need. A New Year business risk audit helps ensure your insurance works as hard as your business does.

    Why reviewing your insurance matters

    Your business rarely stands still – and neither should your insurance. Changes over the past 12–24 months can significantly impact whether your cover is still appropriate, including:

    • Growth in turnover or headcount
    • New contracts, clients or suppliers
    • Additional vehicles or equipment
    • Changes to premises or remote working
    • Increased reliance on digital systems and data

    If your policy hasn’t kept pace, you may discover gaps in cover only when you need it most.

    Under‑insured, over‑insured – or just right?

    Under‑insurance: a hidden risk

    Many SMEs underestimate the true value of their assets, liabilities or professional exposure. Under‑insurance can result in:

    • Claims not being paid in full
    • Reduced settlements due to average clauses
    • Unexpected cash flow pressure after a loss
    • Reputational damage if claims can’t be met

    Over‑insurance: paying more than necessary

    Over‑insurance is equally common. Businesses often continue paying for cover that no longer reflects their operations, such as excess limits, duplicated policies or outdated asset values. The result? Higher premiums with no added protection.

    A structured audit helps strike the right balance – ensuring you’re protected without overpaying.

    How the right insurance saves money long term

    Insurance isn’t just a regulatory or contractual requirement – it’s a financial strategy.

    Well‑structured cover can:

    • Prevent significant out‑of‑pocket costs following a claim
    • Reduce downtime after property or cyber incidents
    • Protect directors and professionals from personal liability
    • Improve lender, investor and client confidence
    • Support business continuity during unexpected events

    In short, the cost of inadequate insurance is often far greater than the premium saved.

    Key areas to review in your 2026 risk audit

    At Readhunt, our audits focus on the risks that matter most to UK SMEs, including:

    • Commercial insurance – ensuring your overall business risks are accurately reflected
    • Commercial motor – fleet size, usage, driver exposure and claims trends
    • Property & liability – buildings, contents, employers’ and public liability
    • Professional indemnity – advice, services and contractual exposures
    • Cyber insurance – data protection, ransomware, business interruption and regulatory risk

    Each area is reviewed in the context of how your business actually operates today – not how it looked years ago.

    Make insurance part of your New Year business strategy

    A New Year business risk audit doesn’t have to be complicated or time‑consuming. It’s a practical conversation that can uncover cost savings, reduce risk and provide peace of mind as you move into the year ahead.

    Now is the ideal time to check whether your insurance is still fit for purpose.

    Speak to Readhunt

    If you’re a UK SME and haven’t reviewed your insurance recently, get in touch with Readhunt to arrange a New Year business risk audit. We’ll help ensure you’re properly protected – without paying more than you need to.

  • Why Are Over 70% of UK Properties Underinsured?

    Why Are Over 70% of UK Properties Underinsured?

    Underinsurance is one of the most common – and most costly – issues we uncover when reviewing clients’ policies. Recent industry data shows that over 70% of UK commercial and residential properties are underinsured – in some cases for as little as 60% of their rebuild value. 

    What does this mean? The amount they’re covered for will be less than the true cost to rebuild. Simply put, more than 7 in 10 UK properties – commercial and residential – don’t have enough cover.

    For businesses, landlords and homeowners, underinsurance can turn a serious incident into a financially devastating one.

    What Does Underinsurance Mean?

    Buildings insurance should cover the full rebuild cost of the property – not its market value. The rebuild cost includes:

    • Materials and labour
    • Professional fees
    • Demolition and site clearance
    • External works, outbuildings and access

    If your sum insured is set lower than this total, your property is underinsured, even if you believe the figure “sounds about right”.

    Why It’s Such a Widespread Problem

    Several factors are driving the scale of underinsurance across the UK:

    • Rebuild costs have risen sharply – Labour and material prices have increased significantly in recent years. Many policies have not kept pace with these changes.
    • Market value confusion – Owners often insure their property based on what it would sell for, rather than what it would cost to rebuild from scratch. These figures are rarely the same.
    • Renovations and improvements – Extensions, refurbishments and new equipment can increase the rebuild cost – but the policy isn’t always updated to reflect these changes.
    • Auto-renewals – Some companies have policies that are renewed without reviewing the sums insured, allowing a small gap to grow into a major exposure over time.

    The Impact at Claim Stage

    If a property is underinsured, insurers may apply the Average Clause. This allows the insurer to reduce the claim payout in proportion to the amount of underinsurance – even for a partial loss.

    For example:

    • True rebuild cost: £1,000,000
    • Insured for: £600,000
    • Underinsured by: 40%

    A £200,000 claim might only result in a £120,000 payout, leaving the owner to cover the £80,000 shortfall.

    For many businesses, this gap can be financially devastating.

    How to Check If You’re at Risk

    Most insurance policies contain a condition for an up to date professional rebuild valuation carried out often within the last 3 years. Failure to have one invariably delays claims and could impact the amount that can be claimed.

    1. Consider when your buildings sum insured was last reviewed properly – if it’s been several years or if you have made changes to the property, it’s time to reassess. 
    2. A professional rebuild assessment tool – such as Rebuild Cost Assessment can offer an accurate, up-to-date figure. The assessments take into account construction type, location, building complexity, outbuildings and today’s reinstatement costs.

    Regular reviews every 3–5 years, with adjustments at renewal where needed, are now widely recommended across the industry.

    How Readhunt Can Help

    As an independent corporate insurance broker, our role is to ensure your cover genuinely protects you.

    We support clients by:

    • Reviewing existing buildings sums insured
    • Identifying potential underinsurance risks
    • Arranging professional rebuild cost assessments
    • Working with insurers to ensure cover aligns with true rebuild values, whether underinsured or overinsured, neither benefits business owners.
    • Advising on business interruption sums insured as part of a complete protection review

    Our focus is on clarity, accuracy and good value when it comes to your policy, ensuring that should the worst happen, your policy responds fully.

    Is It Time to Review Your Sums Insured?

    If you’re a business owner, landlord or property manager and would like to check whether your properties are valued correctly, our team is here to help.

    A quick conversation can highlight whether a reassessment is worthwhile – and potentially prevent major issues later.

    Get in touch with the Readhunt team here to arrange a review or discuss concerns about underinsurance. 

  • Cyber Insurance: Why It Matters More Than Ever for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses

    Cyber Insurance: Why It Matters More Than Ever for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses

    Cybercrime has increased sharply over the past year, affecting organisations of every size and sector. While high-profile incidents involving well-known brands often dominate the headlines, the reality is that smaller businesses are now some of the most frequent targets. Many attackers deliberately focus on SMEs because they often lack the resources, time or in-house expertise to manage cyber risk as effectively as large businesses and corporations.

    At Readhunt, we are seeing more clients ask how they can better protect themselves – not only from the financial consequences of an attack but also from the operational disruption that follows. That is why we have been working closely with insurers to develop accessible and affordable cyber-protection options tailored to the needs of smaller organisations.

    Why Smaller Businesses Are Being Targeted

    Cybercriminals increasingly view SMEs as easier targets. Many rely on online banking, email, websites, customer databases or cloud software to run their business – yet underestimate how vulnerable these systems can be. Common risks include:

    • Phishing emails used to steal passwords or financial information
    • Ransomware attacks that lock systems until a payment is made
    • Business email compromise, leading to fraudulent invoices or payments
      Data breaches exposing customer or employee information

    Even a relatively minor cyber incident can lead to costly downtime, reputational damage and significant financial loss. For SMEs, the impact can be particularly severe.

    What Cyber Insurance Can Offer

    Cyber insurance is designed to support businesses before, during and after an incident. Modern policies typically cover:

    • Financial losses from business interruption
    • Ransomware and extortion costs (subject to insurer conditions)
    • Data recovery and system restoration
    • Legal, regulatory and notification expenses if personal data is compromised
    • Access to specialist incident-response teams
    • Forensic IT support to identify how the attack happened

    Importantly, cyber insurance is no longer just for large corporates. Insurers now offer scaled, flexible options designed specifically for smaller firms.

    Affordable Cover Designed for Your Risk Profile

    Although cyber-insurance premiums have risen across the market, we have worked with leading insurers to create a range of products that offer meaningful protection at accessible price points.

    Policies start from under £100, depending on your business activities and the level of cover selected. The application process is intentionally straightforward:

    • Answer a short set of questions about your business,
    • Review the available cover options,
    • Choose the level that best matches your risk and budget.

    This ensures you are not paying for unnecessary features while still protecting your business from the most common threats.

    Taking a Proactive Approach

    Cyber risk cannot be eliminated, but the combination of basic security measures and a well-designed insurance policy can significantly reduce the impact of an incident.

    For many SMEs, cyber insurance has become an essential part of resilience planning – providing a safety net at a time when attacks are becoming more frequent and more sophisticated.

    How Readhunt Can Help

    As an independent broker, we assess your individual risk profile and recommend solutions that offer the right balance of protection and value. Whether you are new to cyber insurance or reviewing an existing policy, we can guide you through the process and highlight what is most relevant for your business.

    If you would like to explore cyber-protection options or obtain a quote, please get in touch, info@readhunt.co.uk or call us on 01709 278178 – we’re here to help you safeguard your business in a rapidly changing digital landscape.
