About

About The Broking Group.

Independent. FCA-regulated. Specialist in Private Medical Insurance.

Our story

The Broking Group was founded to give UK consumers and businesses a real alternative to comparison websites and tied agents. From day one, the principle has been simple: independent advice, given by named people who know their subject.

Over the last several years we've made a deliberate shift toward Private Medical Insurance as our primary revenue line, while continuing to support clients with adjacent cover such as Group Risk and International Healthcare. That focus lets us go deeper than a generalist broker can.

The Broking Group Limited is an Appointed Representative of Insure Life Limited, who are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA FRN 913606). We are also a member of AMII, the Association of Medical Insurers and Intermediaries. Both are verified and listed in our footer.
