La Playa's Science & Technology team will take the time to gain a thorough understanding of your technology and design a framework of insurance protection to give your business a firm footing from the outset.

Insurance brokers who understand and work with technology companies are a rare breed, to be highly recommended.
The service we get from La Playa is faultless. You are a pleasure to work with.
Thanks for all of your help with this, you've been incredibly helpful!
I like that you can put together a small package suitable for us as a startup and that this can easily be adapted as our needs develop without breaking the bank on the way
For smart technology insurance, you don't get much smarter.
An innovative leader in providing insurance solutions to technology businesses.
We thought that we had exhausted all options for our type of business. La Playa completely understood the field we operated in and provided us with new options - and then shopped around for us to get a better price.
[La Playa] provided world-class expertise and professional service. [They are] experts in insurance and risk management for the technology sector and managed to provide superior product and service whilst reducing cost.
These guys are the only insurance people I will tolerate speaking to these days, as they are actual humans (with both a brain and a heart!) and offer very good packages too - they answer calls and emails promptly and when I had an issue recently with my bank were very helpful to get it fixed.
We've been putting off our insurance needs for far too long, and I feel we are now in safe hands.
I always appreciate how quickly [you] respond to all our questions.
Thanks as always for your extraordinarily quick response and great customer service.
As always we come away thinking how lucky we are to have found La Playa and the people we deal with there - bet there's not many that can say that about their insurance company!
They are the best insurance company to deal with and our contacts there get 10 out of 10!
