This report gives a comprehensive analysis of distribution in the UK commercial insurance market. It explores a range of issues including the growth of the direct channel and the slowdown of acquisitions occurring between commercial insurance brokers.

Highlights
A number of insurance providers have partnered with aggregators in a bid to increase their presence in the SME market, including Simply Business, Premierline Direct, Autonet Business Insurance and Iprism. Among these insurance providers, Simply Business, a subsidiary of Xbridge, features heavily in the aggregator space.

Since 2008, a number of commercial insurance providers have launched their own broker networks and clubs in a bid to increase their revenue stream, including Marsh which launched ProBroker, HSBC which launched Labyrinth and Norwich Union which launched Club 110 and more recently the Broker Independence Group.
