Our take
Consumer tech products such as smartphones and tablet devices are often “built to break” - manufacturers will profit more by selling customers something new rather than fixing what they already have. This aversion to the circular economy means more waste and more money spent by consumers. Small retail businesses are especially prone to selling uninsured products because they have nothing akin to the financial infrastructure of large companies like Apple.
Bolt Cover's product insurance operates at the point of sale for customers and provides a frictionless and swift claims process. SMEs also benefit from Bolt Cover’s insurance scheme, helping even the playing field against large retail enterprises through a secure, speedy and easy insurance process. Bolt’s product can be integrated into SME websites and platforms for no extra cost, which is even more of an incentive to onboard
Market research from the UK Retail Protection Report shows that 71% of consumers want to purchase product protection during or after checkout. Bolt Cover offers exactly this, building on its circular economy ethos with a slick and simple insurance plan that has the potential to draw in a large market, starting with the UK

We're a small team, trying to get complex projects over the line swiftly. Often this involves doing tasks that are not within our usual skill set. It's great - I'm always learning something new - be it insurance, tech, marketing, etc.. related.
