Edison Ives
At Edison Ives we love working with like minded businesses that are independent, proud and unique. We’re not a call centre and we’re not an old-fashioned insurance broker. We sit in the middle… on our own. We have embraced technology and streamlined our processes, to ensure you receive a great price, for the right cover.
Your Insurance Advisor
We don't transfer you. We don't read from scripts. We don't direct you to our website. Instead, we will help you there and then or get back to you promptly. We will always be polite and professional.
Simple really.

A Great Price
In addition we can work with you to help reduce your insurance premium. We can identify factors that are increasing your premium. If these factors can be mitigated we will assist. If not then we will be able to advise you so that you can budget accordingly for future years.

Do you really need this cover?

But despite these statistics more than half of businesses that offer advice fail to buy Professional Liability Insurance. Make sure you are in the right half.

Cyber liability and crime
Edison Ives – The Cyber Threat to Small Business
Larger organisations dominate the press but SMEs are increasingly becoming the target of sophisticated cyber criminals. According to data compiled by the insurance company Zurich, 875,000 SMEs across the UK have already been affected by a cyber-attack over the last 12 months, with an average cost of a cyber attack costing £10,000.
A cyber incident doesn’t only lead to theft of money, data, or goods, it can also lead to an interruption to you business and reputational damage to your company. But despite the losses, many SMEs still aren’t investing in cyber protection or in insurance policies that will help if an attack should happen.
