About us
Embedded Insurance Infrastructure enabling Distribution through Vertical SaaS The Problem: Small businesses are not properly insured. 50% UK SMBs underinsured (CII, FCA) Why? Insurers don’t have accurate data on small business - Incorrect insurance means 50% of UK SMBs are underinsured according to the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) and Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). - Current policies are static though SMBs are dynamic. Less than 20% of SMBs tell their insurer/broker as their needs change (RSA). - 25% of UK SMBs will go out of business if faced with an unexpected bill of £50,000 (RSA). The Solution: Accurate insurance that keeps up to date with the business. Kayna offers insurers access to unique data to allow accurate insurance throughout the lifetime of the policy. - SMBs get complete Insurance transparency on correct cover levels. - Policy review is dynamic; changing as the business changes – automatically. - Insurers can price risk more accurately and the broker can provide the right support, at the right time. - Insurance is automatically presented to the SMB in real-time through the platform they use to manage their business

⚡ The ability to flag changes to SME Insurance risk profiles via vertical SaaS platforms! In the second snippet in our series of four 🎬, Anthony Borgman, Head of GB Affinity - WTW says that the growth of vSaaS platforms in the UK and USA have highlighted the Insurance challenges faced by SMEs. ❗Businesses that are time poor, may be unsure of their specific insurance needs, what limits of indemnity should be, or what type of insurance products they need. ❗The typical annual policy renewal does not cater for how small business activity can change quite rapidly over short periods of time. ✅ The ability to now orchestrate insurance solutions to proactively support more SMEs and flag changes to their risk profiles during the insured period is a valuable demonstration of what WTW + Kayna are offering to SMEs as a full service solution on the vertical SaaS platforms they use every day to run their business.
