About Us

Smei is a name you can trust. We’re an award-winning insurance broker* and we’ve been helping businesses like yours since 2002. We aim to deliver the right business insurance for the UK’s high street shops and small businesses, easily and without fuss, at a competitive price

We’re not like the comparison sites and direct insurers that want you to do the hard work yourself, we believe in providing a personal service you can rely on.

Why?  Because we know, as a business owner, you may not have time to find out exactly what insurance you need or pore over the finer detail of the cover. That’s our job – to offer the free advice you need to get the right cover for your business.

In fact, we make buying insurance as easy as 1, 2, 3:

1. We’ll help you work out exactly what insurance you need, so you’re fully protected should anything go wrong.
2. We’ll save you time by taking on the task of searching our selection of the UK’s leading and specialist insurers, to find the right cover, at the right price for you.
3. There’s no waiting around. Cover can be set up immediately, without fuss.

But don’t just take our word for it. On average, we’ve saved our customers over 30% on the price of their insurance**, and we’ve been awarded the Feefo 'Platinum Trusted Service Award' for delivering exceptional customer service.  Just take a look at some of our reviews:

“A very positive first experience with smei!

Initial call handled proficiently, and I was told to expect a call back from the appropriate person. That call came and I immediately felt confident in the hands of the man who understood the case completely, knew what to ask and after further research was most helpful in coming up with a suitable solution. A good first experience with smei.”
