Choosing the right insurance broker for your business

May 21st 2026

Choosing an insurance broker is an important decision for any business. The right broker should take time to understand how your business operates, the risks it faces and how these risks might change as your business grows.

Lycetts has contributed a Q&A chapter to the Yorkshire edition of Business in Practice, offering practical guidance for SMEs on what to look for when selecting a broker.

Written for the Yorkshire edition, the chapter includes regional context while sharing advice that will resonate with SMEs nationwide.
Kris Johnson and Harry Appleton-Metcalfe explain why sector knowledge and a clear understanding of a business can make a real difference. They also consider the importance of working with a broker who can explain complex insurance issues clearly and help businesses prepare for everyday risks as well as unexpected challenges.

In addition, the Q&A highlights why strong relationships matter. As businesses evolve, a broker who understands their operations and risk profile can provide more informed advice, helping ensure insurance remains fit for purpose rather than simply renewed year-on-year.
You can read the full chapter on the Business in Practice website.
