Don’t just be the best player, change the game entirely
In January we released the worlds first flexible business insurance product. Fully on demand insurance to suit the growing on demand workforce. For the first time ever freelancers, contractors and the self employed could turn their insurance on and off to fit their lifestyle.
Not happy with just one world first we decided to add another. Our unique end of month billing cycle allows freelancers to pay for their insurance in arrears for the previous months usage – say whaaaat! Yep, no 12 month contracts, no credit agreements, simply pay in arrears (after you’ve been paid yourself) only for the insurance you’ve used that month.
Fair play two world firsts, nice work, and then for good measure we made sure that our freelancer crew wouldn’t be left high and dry if their equipment was lost, stolen or damaged. So if you insure your business equipment with Dinghy and it get’s in trouble, we’ll replace it within 24 hours to make sure your losses are minimal. Not to mention our 40 second quotes, fully online account, instant documentation, commitment to zero fees and zero excesses on selected covers. Anyway that was January…..
Ignore the status quo
At Dinghy we have never been one to take the notice of the status quo, we just go our own way and now we are super proud to realise part II of our vision.
Enter Freelancer Assist, a new Dinghy innovation to help protect our customers. Think of it as R2D2 to your Luke Skywalker (or Chewy to your Han if you’re more rebellious) it’s just always there, ready to get you out of a mess.
Freelancer Assist is now live and comes as standard on all Dinghy policies to make sure that everyone can take advantage of this amazing new development. “So what does it do” I hear you cry. I’m glad you asked…
