I have a business that is in need of coverage for anything and I hire employees as well. So, it's not me just directly involved, we're dealing with the client's personal items. I checked out a few different companies and their premiums were high. They weren't really responsive in telling me why they needed these things. Simply Business was manageable with my paying range and gave me a quote that was reasonable. They were pretty spot on. I typed in what type of industry I was in, and they let me know what type of coverage I pretty much would need. I don't have a deductible. We sent in a request as we had an incident with the scratching of a stove. They told us to send the info. We sent the serial number and all of that and we haven't heard anything back. Please have them call me as soon as possible, so I can get this client taken care of. She's not gonna stop till I get this thing done.

The reps at Simply Business went over the different options. I explained the needs that we had in our business and they were able to find something that fit with what we were looking for. We didn't do research so we went back and forth a little bit on the right coverage but they were able to guide us. I dealt with a nice representative and she seemed sincere. We had similar offers but I wanted to go with her based off her interactions and personality, and I would recommend her. To have a custom quote, the phone call was required but a live option chat would have been nice to have and to use.

I can't say enough about the customer service I received this month from the team at Simply Business, specifically from Lauren ** and Gregory **. I needed additional coverage for my policy and Lauren was extremely quick and thorough in her follow-up, providing guidance which went above my query and gave me additional ideas to consider. When it turned out that I would unfortunately have to end up cancelling my policy - due to the unique nature of the additional coverage I was seeking Gregory responded quickly and made the process incredibly easy. In both cases, the responses were expedient, courteous and very helpful. Thank you!

Simply Business was the only one that actually popped up and said they were doing the general liability and the professional. I did both of them and what they wrote me, I'd only be paying 84 months. It's not over 100 and I'm good. It's still reasonable especially for having both in the amount that I asked for. The entire process was pretty easy. It's definitely different from getting regular insurance but it wasn't hard at all.

Since the type of work that I do, we require liability insurance in a lot of the jobs. So I decided to start looking up some insurance companies and Simply Business offers some of the best pricing.

They had everything in there to fill out. Everything was just great experience. I'm recommending more friends to Simply Business.

I've been in business a while, and they had the best price. However, the communication is lacking. They do not send updates and I don't know who I'm dealing with.

Simply Business is nice in that it is exactly as advertised. They wont bother to upsell you, but also wont help in advising you on what insurance you need. You really need to consult another resource, and just use them to find exactly what you need. The only real lack of service that some of the other competitors have is the ability to sign in and check your accounts. Pretty much everything has to be done over the phone. More of a annoyance than anything.

I was in business and I sold my business, and then I decided to do a little part-time work. I wanted to get covered, but it was like trying to pull teeth to find somebody that would give me insurance at a fair price. I even tried to go to the people I had been doing my auto and home insurance for the last 13 years and they wouldn't give it to me. Simply Business called me and I told them what I wanted. The person I talked to on the phone was very helpful and knowledgeable and answered all my questions. They came up with a great plan and it was more than what I was actually looking for, at a cheaper price. We got my insurance for my business set up painlessly and easily. I got the payment set up on an auto-draft. So I don't have to worry about making the monthly payment. So far, it's been pretty good.
The Simply Business website was fairly simple. I'm not very computer proficient so if I can navigate through it, anybody can. I just answered all the questions they asked me. It's basically a point and click type process and it gives you all the options, and you hit the drop-down box, pick the one that fits you, and then move on to the next.

I originally contacted Simply Business - I think I was referred; the agent helped me with GL insurance - I paid a down payment - and was so relieved as it was less money and I had been on the phone for hours trying to find a company that would provide the verbiage "per project" - The next day I called to get a COI - and was informed they actually could not include the verbiage. I was more than irritated - as I had to start all over. With that said - I did not retain the name of the company - So when I got my credit card statement and there was a charge and 2 days later a credit - and I had forgotten the whole situation. I called the phone # on the credit card statement - and emailed to find out. They were so nice and efficient and explained what had happened and I apologized profusely and was sorry that I had caused all the ruckus.

Thanks for letting us know, and we are sorry that this has occurred. A licensed service agent from our Customer Solutions Center will be in touch with you to discuss the details of this matter further.

The first person I spoke to was patient and he answered all of my questions. There was no pressure for me to join. He gave me advice on what to look for in case I did decide to look with other companies. But I went with the options that they suggested and I like the flexible payment plans. At one point, I lost my debit card so I had to change it and I missed a payment. Instead of them holding it against me, they just sent me a friendly reminder that said I missed a payment. I just called and fixed it. They’re understanding when it comes to their clients. That's really important especially nowadays when people are more concerned when it comes to getting the money. Simply Business is mindful that there are people who are working through their own things.

I'm an insurance agent, and at the time when I got the policy from Simply Business, I was doing independent health insurance. Everything was great as far as it was very easy to find the right product, sign up for it, and to get the policy started. Everything was very straightforward and simple, which fits their name. I did everything myself and being an insurance agent, I didn't really feel I needed an agent which was probably a mistake. They could have followed up with me to make sure I got the right product. I could see that as a legitimate thing to probably improve. But I really don't have any complaints. And the premium was pretty good, too. I just lost track of the payment date and I want to be able to restart the ommissions policy.
