This unit gives an overview of the products, practices and procedures of packaged commercial insurance in the UK. It covers the range of insurances, types of losses, common extensions and exclusions and the channels small businesses use to access cover.

We look at information required for a proposal form, how this is used to calculate a premium and the legal and regulatory requirements surrounding the quotation process. We examine how rates and policy terms reflect the characteristics of packaged commercial policies, including the ways premiums are calculated.

We look at the legal significance of procedures relating to the issue of policies, the structure of a policy document, the operation of warranties and the consequences for the insured of breaching a policy warranty.

We examine administrative processes in the renewal process, regulatory requirements, the cancellation condition typically included and the regulatory rules relating to 'cooling off' periods.

Finally, we look at claims procedures, the responsibilities of both insurers and the insured and how claims are investigated and settled.
