Only 16% of UK firms quantify their business interruption exposure, and fewer still have formal risk management plans for cyber, supply chain or disruption scenarios, despite 27-31% having already suffered significant losses in these areas. Aon identifies a market gap for brokers to help clients model realistic loss scenarios and close protection gaps using current premium savings.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Insurtech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Brokers selling business interruption cover now have a concrete opening: 84% of UK firms have never modelled their actual exposure, which means they're almost certainly underinsured. You can walk into renewal meetings with scenario modelling that your competitors haven't offered, and turn falling premiums into higher limits and better cover.
