Problem & Solution

30-second quote-to-bind · embedded inside the tools SMEs already use

The Problem

32M SMEs in UK + EU are underinsured because broker-led distribution requires 45+ minute consultations and 3–7 day quote turnarounds. Modern SMEs run on vertical SaaS (Shopify, Toast, Procore) but those platforms can't sell insurance. The result: $48B in unrealized SME insurance premium across UK + EU.

Our Solution

An embedded insurance API that vertical SaaS platforms drop into their UI in 2 weeks. SMEs get a personalized quote (general liability, cyber, employer's liability) in 30 seconds based on platform-resident data — no questionnaire. Bind, pay, and policy issuance in-flow.

Market Opportunity

Commission share with SaaS partners (15–22% of premium) + MGA underwriting margin on direct policies (~8% net). Multi-carrier paper to optimize loss ratios. Recurring annual policies; 86% renewal rate.

Valuation, Capital Structure & Forward View

An investment is a bet on the forward plan, so a trailing snapshot isn't enough. These are derived from this report's own ask and projections — not external estimates.

Capital Structure & Funding

An equity round with no structural debt disclosed — capital-structure risk is dilution and runway rather than credit or covenants. Any future expansion or working-capital debt would change this profile and should be tracked.

How to read these

Rule of 40 sums forward revenue growth and EBITDA margin — ≥40 is healthy; below it flags growth bought at the cost of profit. Capital efficiency is Year-5 revenue per dollar raised. Entry multiple divides the disclosed cap / pre-money / asking price by Year-3 revenue, shown only where disclosed (n/d = not derivable). Verify against primary diligence.

Traction & Proof Points

Moat & Exit Strategy

Defensible Moat

Platform-data-driven underwriting (loss ratio 16pp better than market) compounds with every policy bound. SaaS partner integrations are 6–9 month sales cycles competitors must repeat. Multi-carrier panel + MGA license create flexibility on both pricing and underwriting authority.

Exit Path

Strategic acquisition by a global insurance carrier (AXA, Allianz, Zurich), insurance broker conglomerate (Marsh, Aon), or fintech roll-up at 4–7x revenue / 12–18x EBITDA within 5–7 years.

Key Risks

When the Thesis Breaks

Read this before trusting the forward numbers. The case rests on operating leverage — revenue growth converting into a holding-or-expanding EBITDA margin. The fastest way it breaks: a period where revenue grows but EBITDA falls (margin compression).

If any of the Key Risks above materialise, the forward projections in this report should be treated as suspended until the model is re-underwritten. The single most material trigger to watch: Carrier paper renegotiation could compress MGA margin.
