Who Owns Chiswell Insurance?

Chiswell Insurance is a brand and trading name owned by these companies:

• Simply Business: Chiswell is one of the managing general agents (MGA) operating under Simply Business, a major UK-based insurance provider.
• Underwriters: The actual insurance policies of Chiswell are underwritten by these larger insurance companies:
  • HDI Global Specialty SE (a joint venture between Hannover Re and HDI Global)
  • Great Lakes Insurance SE

Here’s how this works:

• Simply Business: The parent company responsible for marketing and distribution of Chiswell policies.
• Chiswell (as an MGA): Handles things like product design, customer relationships, and some aspects of claims management.
• Underwriters: Ultimately bear the financial risk of the insurance policies.

Why this Matters

• Financial Backing: The major underwriters provide stability and the ability to pay out claims.
• Claims Process: While Chiswell is likely your main contact, claims may be partially handled by the underwriters depending on the situation.
