Underwriters

PRASIS members have an individual policy of insurance as part of their membership. The underwriters are specialists in professional indemnity based in the City of London.

CFC Underwriting Ltd.

CFC is a specialist insurance provider and a pioneer in emerging risk. With a track record of disrupting inefficient insurance markets, CFC uses proprietary technology to deliver high-quality products to market faster than the competition while making it easier for brokers to do business. Our broad range of commercial insurance products are purpose-built for today’s risks, and we aim to give our customers everything they need in one, easy-to-understand policy.

Headquartered in London, CFC serves more than 70,000 businesses in over 80 countries.

Other Insurers

CFC remains the approved insurer for the PRASIS members scheme and work with the Board to provide a comprehensive and competitive insurance product. However, we recognise that some members might not be eligible to join the scheme or perhaps choose to purchase their indemnity elsewhere whilst also retaining the benefits of being a Prasis member.

For such cases MIC, our appointed insurance broker, will ensure that members are covered by insurers who are financially strong, as rated by the independent rating agencies, such as Standard and Poors, A.M. Best etc.
