Workflow

How a quote moves

  1. I.
    Submission

    Operator profile, fleet, mission types, prior loss history, requested limits, effective date.

  2. II.
    Underwriting

    We size the risk against the rate sheet and the carrier's appetite for the territory and mission.

  3. III.
    Indicative quote

    Returned within 24 hours, with a clear breakdown of liability, hull, payload, deductible.

  4. IV.
    Bind

    Send the OA, evidence pack and confirmation. Cover is effective on premium and final wording.

“The drone book splits cleanly: retail handles the bottom of the market well; everything complex — fleets above twelve airframes, BVLOS, cross-border, cinema rigs — needs the wholesale facility. Our role is to make that bookable inside a working day.”
