What Servca does
Servca is an independent, owner-managed Lloyd's Broker founded in 2011 and headquartered in London, with a wholly owned subsidiary structure now operating under parent Superian Insurance Group following a 2024 group restructure. The firm operates as a wholesale specialty broker focused on non-standard, complex, and distressed insurance risks that mainstream carriers and MGAs decline — originating in non-standard medical malpractice and casualty, and now spanning healthcare liability, professional indemnity, D&O, cyber, casualty, accident & health, cargo/freight, digital assets/crypto, and financial institutions coverage. Distribution is intermediated exclusively through regional broker-clients, MGAs (with Servca acting as Coverholder sponsor and capacity provider), cedents requiring facultative reinsurance, and capacity providers (traditional insurers, Lloyd's Syndicates, and ILS funds); direct policyholder access is also offered. The firm runs a closed broker network (Servca Black Label) and an FCA Appointed Representative turnkey model (Synergio) that onboards insurance practitioners onto the Servca FCA umbrella while letting them retain 100% of brokerage.
The underlying technology footprint is deliberately minimal: Servca operates primarily as a traditional broker with no proprietary placement platform, no public API, and no disclosed AI/ML capability. Marketing and engagement rely on Force24 automation, Google Analytics, and standard LinkedIn/Meta advertising pixels. Revenue is generated purely on a commission/transaction-fee model — Servca earns brokerage on each risk placed into Lloyd's and London Market carriers, with no disclosed pricing tiers or fee schedules (all engagements are quote-based and negotiated per placement). The firm holds FCA authorisation (FRN 596006), Lloyd's Broker status (since 2015), and operates through offices in London, Malta (Servca European Insurance Brokers Ltd), Belfast (new June 2024), plus wholly owned subsidiaries in Canada (Servca Canada Insurance Group Inc), reinsurance (Servca Re International Ltd), and the Synergio AR sub-brand. A future-state event is the announced acquisition of parent Superian Insurance Group by Specialist Risk Group, which will re-platform Servca within a larger specialty insurance consolidator.
