Simply Business, founded in 2005, operates a digital insurance brokerage that uses proprietary technology to transform how small businesses find and purchase insurance. The company's platform enables business owners to search and compare quotes from over 18 top-rated insurance providers, covering more than 400 types of businesses across sectors such as contractors, e-commerce retailers, wellness professionals, and restaurants. It maintains a presence in both the United Kingdom and the United States.
The company's core technical work sits at the intersection of insurtech and digital platform engineering. Its systems handle complex comparison logic, data integration with multiple insurance carriers, and user-facing digital experiences - all areas where data-driven approaches and intelligent automation are increasingly central. Simply Business manages over one million active insurance policies, making it one of the UK's largest business insurance providers.
The firm has been consistently recognised as a best place to work, with a stated commitment to simplifying insurance and supporting small business owners. Its dual-market footprint in the UK and US presents ongoing engineering challenges around scaling, localisation, and platform reliability.
