Supporting A New Business In Catterick Garrison With Flexible Commercial Vehicle Insurance
Launching a new business often brings unique challenges, particularly when arranging insurance that can support future growth. In this case study, we explain how we helped a new business in Catterick Garrison secure a flexible commercial vehicle insurance solution that met its immediate requirements while allowing for future expansion.
Project Overview
A new business in Catterick Garrison approached Scanlan Insurance Brokers during its launch phase.
The business planned to expand its vehicle fleet rapidly during its first year and required insurance that could adapt as new vehicles and drivers were added.
The client was looking for a local insurance broker who understood their industry and could provide a solution that supported their future plans.
Get In TouchThe Challenge
The client's requirements included:
- Launching the business with two vehicles.
- Planning to add several more vehicles during the first year.
- Requiring "Any Driver Over 25" cover.
- Wanting a policy that allowed vehicles and drivers to be added easily.
- Needing availability outside standard office hours.
The client also recognised that a standard internet search would not provide the level of flexibility they required.
Contact UsOur Solution
We met with the client in person to discuss their business plans for the year ahead.
Using our panel of over 350 insurers, we arranged a solution that included:
- A flexible multi-vehicle policy designed to meet the client's current requirements.
- The ability to add vehicles as the business expanded.
- The ability to add drivers to the policy as required.
- A comprehensive breakdown policy.
- Legal Expenses cover.
- A like-for-like replacement vehicle for up to 14 days following an accident or theft.
- Support provided around the client's schedule, including availability outside normal office hours.
The policy was also designed to transition to a full fleet policy following the first year of growth.
