    I had a fine experience with them. I like that they didn't require me to have a couple of years of the business being open in order to get insurance through them as qualifications. The representative I spoke with was also very good.

    Simply Business’ recommendations were good. When I went online and researched the different insurance companies, Hiscox was the particular one I wanted. So, it was fine. I was very satisfied with the service.

    The rep from Simply Business was fantastic. I liked his attention to detail and he consistently kept in touch and communicated to make sure that we were on the same page. This was my first time venturing out to do my own thing. So, I didn't know exactly what I needed. I left that up in his hands. He told me what the options were and made a recommendation. He also told me why he made that recommendation and where I could do my own research. I did and he was correct. So, I went with it.

    The process was simple because it was done online. After submitting something and putting the information in, it would be better to get a consultation call to better help me understand what it is I signed up for.

    I did everything online. I got the PDF file of the policy online and I was able to upload it to Amazon and they were fine with it. It's been straightforward. So far, the process is pretty self-explanatory and I was able to do it very easily over the phone when I talked with one of the agents.

    Simply Business was easy to do. The customer service was great. There was something I didn't like in the factor of the coverage. I have a barbershop, so I have barbers that work under me and if they don't have insurance on their own property, then I cover it under my insurance, and it's kind of confusing because what if somebody breaks into my barbershop and steals their stuff as well. The rep didn't elaborate much about it because it got kind of busy when I was asking questions. Other than that, I haven't had any issues at all right now.

    Navigating through the Simply Business website wasn't too hard. I clicked on the website a little bit and did a little background. I called them and they explained everything. Also, they were the most affordable option.

    Working with Simply Business is really simple. Some of the other companies were asking a lot of questions and so much stuff. I was like, “How am I supposed to know these things?” I looked up Simply Business' information and I was like, “Okay, this is what I'm talking about.” When you're a business owner and you're trying to open, you don't have time to be doing deep investigations into the dimensions of the building and stuff.

    The only feedback I will give is that as I was growing, I finally got approved for an actual business bank account. I prefer to be able to navigate a website on my own terms and don't necessarily always have time to make in-person or real-time calls, and I did have to call to switch my payment information over. It would have been easier to access that on the website. Sometimes, I'm up at one o'clock in the morning, and I'm switching things over and I can't necessarily pick up the phone and call. So it will be easier to navigate things online because that's something I really don't need help for. I'm pretty savvy at navigating websites.

    Overall, I was able to access the policy immediately. It’s very simple. I love that they send reminders when it's time for it to be paid. The policy was exactly what I was looking for. I liked it because as a new business owner, I know I can always update my policy. It was a very affordable price for someone who's just starting out.

    I needed business insurance to get a job to secure a contract. So, I needed some easy type stuff. My friend told me he had Simply Business and it was pretty easy and straightforward. I called them and then they gave me the rate. It was way more cheaper than the other quotes I got from a local agency. It was like three times cheaper. Their guy gave me a killer deal. I missed a payment and they canceled it, and then I ended up calling them again. I didn't even know it got canceled. I got a new card and I forgot that I had to switch the card numbers over. They gave me a cheaper deal than they gave me the first time. So, I liked them for that. It was nice to get it for even cheaper. Saving money is always a good thing.

    Sales-wise, I loved the way the system is set up. I don't have to contact anybody when I was getting the service. Everything was automated. Within 10 minutes, I purchased the plan. Today, when I had to cancel, I had to talk to somebody. It felt good because it took two minutes for them to answer the phone. To have someone in America answer the phone on the customer service side, it was great.

    When I was buying the insurance, reps told me I could only sell groceries and some toys and I cannot sell certain products. The fact that they give advance notice on what you are gonna be selling, that's good. People need to know the product that they're selling before they buy insurance, because some products could be hazard. You might wanna shop and ask more questions about the type of the product that you’re selling.

    I worked with Bruce ** at Simply Business and he was amazing. Bruce knows insurance like no other. He was very professional and explained everything to me so that I could understand it. The best thing was he found me the lowest rates and didn't try to sell me anything I did not need. I recommend all small businesses starting out to contact Simply Business for a quote, it was worth the effort.
