SchemeServe

What SchemeServe does

SchemeServe is a UK-based cloud software company, founded in 2000 and headquartered in Southend-on-Sea, that provides a configurable platform for insurance scheme management, online billing, and MI (management information) reporting. The platform enables insurance brokers to launch, manage, and trade their own branded insurance schemes across specialist lines including property, private clients (high-net-worth), and commercial lines, with access to A-rated underwriting capacity. Its core technology is a configurable insurance platform that supports digital trading workflows and white-label deployment, with no disclosed proprietary AI/ML capabilities.

The company operates a subscription-based platform licensing model, generating recurring revenue from broker and insurer customers. Its go-to-market is predominantly channel-driven: the flagship recent product, 'Delegated Authority in a Box' (launched 13 May 2026 in partnership with Bspoke Group), is distributed as a white-labelled solution built on Bspoke Online combined with SchemeServe's configurable platform, and carries no license or set-up fees — suggesting transaction- or capacity-based economics rather than upfront licensing. SchemeServe employs 11-50 staff and serves the UK general insurance market, with leadership comprising founder and CEO Adam Bishop, Director Colin Kippin (also heading the 'Wunderwriting' team), and Head of Engineering and UX Simon Cowling. The company's strategic emphasis is on reducing barriers to entry for brokers seeking to operate delegated authority schemes digitally.
