Lime Risk Agency

What Lime Risk Agency does

Lime Risk Agency Limited is a London-based Managing General Agent (MGA) authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 607470) and operating as a Lloyd's Coverholder. The firm specialises in underwriting long-term financial and credit risks on behalf of quality A and AA rated insurers, issuing policies on a cross-border basis from its headquarters at 34 Lime Street in the City of London. Its service offering is built around structuring insurance solutions that protect and enhance asset value or optimise funding in transactions, drawing on combined expertise across insurance, debt, and capital markets.

The company's product portfolio is organised across six core verticals: Real Estate Insurance, Lenders Operational Risk, Lenders Credit Risk, Lenders Structured Finance, Investor Solutions, and Renewables Insurance, plus a UK-wide legal indemnity policy book. Target customers include real estate investors and property owners, lenders seeking capital relief or securitisation efficiency, institutional investors evaluating credit exposures, and sponsors of renewable energy projects. Distribution is sales-led and direct, with the specialist team engaging clients to understand risk issues and tailor bespoke policy wordings. The stated service standard is provision of terms within 24 hours where possible.

The business operates with a small team of approximately 9 professionals based in London, including directors, underwriting leadership, and senior and junior underwriters assigned to dedicated product verticals. Revenue mechanics follow a standard MGA model: the firm underwrites on behalf of carrier partners and earns commission on premium placed. Technology infrastructure is described as cloud-based to support remote working and resilient service delivery, though no proprietary technology platform, API, or AI/ML capability is evidenced. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and requires direct engagement with specialists.
