About Clearcut
Clearcut helps UK small-business owners, self-employed people and contractors understand business insurance. Our guides explain types of cover, insurance questions relevant to your work and what to check in policy documents. They help you understand the terms and prepare questions for an insurer or broker.
Plain English, with the detail that matters
Insurance decisions often depend on the work you do, who works with you and the terms of the policy. We explain unfamiliar language, use examples to make distinctions clearer and explain when the answer depends on your circumstances.

How our content is prepared
We start with a reader question and a brief setting out what the page should explain. Drafts are prepared with AI assistance, using research and source checks to support factual statements.
For legal and regulatory points, we look for legislation, regulator guidance and other official guidance. Information about insurance features comes from insurer or broker documentation. Examples do not confirm an individual policy’s terms.
The drafting process includes factual checks, proofreading and edits for clarity. We keep supporting sources, evidence gaps and unresolved questions in editorial records. These records help identify what needs further checking before publication. We record gaps rather than inventing answers.
Our guides provide general information; they cannot confirm whether a particular policy suits your business or whether an individual claim is covered.
Clearcut’s role
Clearcut publishes information. We do not issue insurance policies, change your cover or handle insurance claims.
We do not compare providers ourselves or offer a quote service on this website. There is currently no comparison partner or paid referral arrangement.
Services on an external insurance website are provided by that organisation under its own terms and privacy information. For policy documents, changes or claims, contact your insurer or broker using its official details.
