Our take
Next Insurance serves small businesses by making it much simpler to take out an insurance policy without the headache associated with many providers. To begin trading any business needs to have some sort of insurance policy in place, traditional offerings can take weeks, often requiring tedious paperwork.
Next Insurance has opted to use AI, machine learning and transparent language to make the process much simpler, and it can take just five to ten minutes for customers to obtain a package that suits them.
While Next Insurance is facing established insurance companies such as Hiscox and State Farm, its partnership with Amazon Business Prime to insure its members in a move to target traditionally underserved insurance customers and more recently with LegalZoom, to simplify the insurance process, as well as its nearly half a million customers has the company well set to remain major player in the space.
