What Risk Hub does

Risk Hub (legal entity: The Risk Hub Limited) is an independent chartered UK insurance broker, founded in 2017 and authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA Number 803162). Headquartered in Warwick with a registered office in Guiseley, Leeds, the company operates with a team of 1–10 employees and serves commercial clients across the United Kingdom. Risk Hub delivers three integrated service lines — Insurance Advice (broker-led placement across UK and global markets), Risk Management (advisory supported by technology tools and a sister company, Crownford, providing health & safety and HR consulting), and Claims Service (claims handling and advocacy) — and pursues a deliberate vertical specialisation strategy across waste & recycling, manufacturing, technology, events, life sciences, construction, and medical professional sectors, complemented by specialty lines such as medical malpractice, product liability for imported goods, and sonographer insurance.

Underlying technology is functional rather than differentiated: a mobile Claims Reporting App for first-notice-of-loss capture with image and tracking capabilities, cloud-based document management with version control, self-service client portals for policy access, RICS-approved rebuild cost assessment integration, 360-degree and aerial drone survey tools, and a Cyber Essentials certification service. The company is a member of the Willis Towers Watson Network, providing access to global placement capabilities, and operates alongside sister brands Butler Evans (professional indemnity) and Crownford (health & safety/HR consulting). Revenue is generated primarily through insurance brokerage commissions on placed business, supplemented by risk management professional services, with quote-based pricing and annual billing cycles; the firm has no external funding and operates as a privately held limited company.

Revenue model

1. Insurance Brokerage Commissions: Risk Hub acts as an intermediary between insurance buyers and insurers. They earn commissions from insurers for placing business. The company states they are fully transparent about their charging structure and have eliminated the conflict of interest present in traditional commission models where higher premiums meant higher broker earnings.
2. Risk Management Services: Risk Hub provides risk management advice, support, and tools as part of their core philosophy. This includes access to sister company Crownford for health & safety and HR consulting at discounted rates for Risk Hub clients. Services include risk assessments, business continuity planning, and compliance audits.
