We've Revolutionised RatingsWe do things differently at BareRock. Our entirely new digital application process allows us to understand businesses better through enhanced data. Because of this, we’ve been able to flip the legacy rating model on its head.Our revolutionary and dynamic rating model places more emphasis on your company’s culture & conduct and less on market averages, meaning your premium more closely reflects your firm’s individual qualities.
We understand that you want to know your PI Insurance takes into account the information you have supplied and that you are not being treated in a ‘one size fits all’ way!
Your Policy Wording We’ve been in the industry for over 30 years each.We’ve seen and experienced first hand some of the difficulties Financial Advisers have encountered when their PI Insurance policy has been difficult to navigate or hasn’t kept up to pace with the scenarios Financial Advisers are encountering. That’s why we’ve worked relentlessly in partnership with our insurance partner and our legal experts to create an entirely new PI insurance policy wording that’s optimised for the well-run financial advice firms operating today.
How it’s different
Streamlined wording that’s easier to understand
Documentation that’s easier to navigate
Supports the FCA DISP 1.5.1R ‘3 day rule’, so you can maintain your high levels of customer service
Our policy has been designed to safeguard firms so they can deliver good outcomes for their clients
BareRock is an underwriting agencyand the co-manufacturer of the BareRock professional indemnity policyThe benefit of this direct relationship is that you engage directly with us as the agent of the insurer, rather than going through an intermediary. We can advise you on the suitability of our product for your company’s needs, we also have the authority to underwrite your new policies and to proactively support you through any claims that may arise.
Flexible payment terms for greater choiceChoose to pay in a single upfront payment or spread the cost over 3, 6 or 10 month instalments with one of the country’s largest payment processors.
Digital efficiency with a human touchWe leverage technology and data to gain deeper insights into your business, yet every decision is guided by human judgement and expertise.
Transparent fees that can save on IPTUnlike brokers, we don’t charge a hidden commission. We charge a transparent fee that, as opposed to commission, does not incur Insurance Premium Tax (IPT).

| Subtotal | £20,000 | £15,000 |
| IPT | £2,400 | £1,800 |
| Fee | £0 | £5,000 |

Our approach to underwritingA core part of the BareRock approach is to ensure our underwriting criteria are sufficiently robust so we can exclusively provide cover for the firms who can demonstrate their dedication to risk mitigation processes. This approach isn’t only important for us, to make sure we have a sustainable and stable loss ratio, but it also protects our clients from rates having to increase across the board due to the ‘contagion’ from those who don’t take risk mitigation seriously.This is why BareRock’s underwriting focuses on your firm’s individual qualities rather than market risk, giving you fairer & more stable PII rates. If you’re insured via BareRock, you can rest assured that you’re safeguarded alongside other like-minded companies.
