Commercial lines aggregation

Who’d have though it.. The bleeding edge for commercial lines aggregation is … Dixons.

Call Connections in Ipswich will be managing the venture coming online early next year, after they get the personal lines site out the way.

As we’ve said before.. watch this space…

Tesco already offer business financial services in the form of SME Credit Card offers at every checkout and are well versed in Internet…

By virtue of the fact they know everything we read, Amazon’s database could make a pretty accurate stab at which user is a likely target for commercial lines insurance (or personal lines.. “People who bought Trans-Atlantic Yachting for Beginners also found this ad interesting…”)

I think we’ll also begin to see smaller niche aggregators come along, but not for a while - there are technical issues to overcome of course, notably the complexity of rating guides that are too small (in market size) to be considered economically viable for larger software houses to invest in (or brokers).
