AXA Commercial launches directory to help brokers

AXA Commercial is helping brokers navigate the complexities of the schemes market when placing niche risks
New online directory provides easy access to partner schemes that offer AXA-underwritten products across a wide range of non-standard trades and sectors

When brokers are faced with an unusual or specialist business to insure, it can be challenging to find an appropriate scheme that fits the bill.

At AXA, we know that hard-to-place risks can leave brokers scratching their heads, so we’ve launched an online directory that provides access to a selection of our partner schemes that offer AXA-underwritten products across a wide range of non-standard trades and sectors.

The easy-to-use Scheme Specialists directory is split into six categories – Specialty, Contractors, Liability, Motor, Property and Combined. Brokers can click on the sections to access information about schemes specific to each area, thereby reducing the time they spend searching for a good fit for their niche.

As a business with a broad and loyal broker following, this simple concept of connecting the ‘weird and wonderful’ world of schemes with that distribution capability really is a genius idea.

If we can make it easier for brokers to navigate our extensive portfolio of schemes, it improves the service we all provide to customers while opening up new opportunities to grow our partners businesses. We are very hopeful that the Schemes Specialists directory will be a real asset to our fantastic broker partners who are frequently presented with niche or non-standard risks to place.
