Specialist insurance for technology startups

Building a tech business comes with enough unknowns already; your insurance shouldn’t be one of them.

At Sutcliffe & Co Insurance, we work closely with startups and early-stage tech companies to put the right protection in place from day one. Whether you’re developing and launching a new app, working on a video game/gaming technology, or involved in emerging technology, we’ll help you secure cover that actually reflects how your business operates.

Cover that fits how tech companies work

Most standard policies weren’t built with tech businesses in mind. That’s why we arrange specialist cover designed for companies developing or delivering technology products and services.

A typical policy can include:

Professional Indemnity

Property Damage

Cyber

Directors & Officers

Business Interruption

General Liability

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a tech startup?
A tech startup is usually a business that’s built around creating or using technology in a new way. Most are early-stage companies, still growing, testing ideas and finding their place in the market.
That could include businesses like:
Software developers
AI or machine learning startups
App and web development companies
IT consultants and managed service providers
Cybersecurity firms
Hardware or tech product developers
Gaming, VR/AR or digital media businesses
In short, if tech sits at the heart of what you do, rather than just supporting it, you’re probably a tech startup.
