TEn is a General Insurance (GI) Broker Network, launched in 2005, with its sights firmly set on helping small established and start-up brokers weather the storms and seize the opportunities of changing times ahead. Originally, formed as a purely Commercial Insurance network, we have since extended our remit to incorporate Private Clients and Personal Lines (EDI) business as well.
We have also become a bit of a magnet for Latent Defect Insurance start-ups. Since 2005, TEn has become the go-to place for industry professionals who are seeking to start anew and build from there. Whether that be individually, or as a small team. Importantly, the continued independence of TEn, as a broker network, is guaranteed by our constitution.
TEn is an employee owned (EO) business and, as such, we would be rather complicated either to buy, or to sell. TEn insurance services ltd. TEn insurance services ltd. is registered in the United Kingdom. Company number 05225049. VAT registration 971583490. TEn insurance services ltd. is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

For want of a re-inventive idea.
An industry that militates against start-ups, as ours does today, is one that is doomed to stagnation and ultimate extinction.
In 1971, a founder of TEn, Kedric Rhodes, ran his business.
Our real dilemma is that we don't much care for the term Appointed Representative (or AR), as this tends to conjure an image of somebody driving around the countryside with a car boot full of sample hair-care and/or deodorising products.
There is, alas, little we can do.
It does not cover absolutely every aspect of it.

In 1971, a founder of TEn, Kedric Rhodes, ran his business from his mother's spare bedroom for the first three years.
He was also able to spend his first Monday walking from one end of the Uxbridge Road in Ealing to the other, visiting insurer offices and collecting a dozen agencies.
Once again, TEn makes it possible for entrepreneurial folk to do what people used to do in olden days, Allowing new businesses to focus on their clients and not needing to concern themselves too much, with other distractions.

You will find out lots more in our Start-Up Guide, which covers the real nitty-gritty, once you have made a decision in principle to move forward and join us.
In any typical broker, the client relationships are handled by variously titled people, called Account Executives or Business Development Managers.
In a smaller organisation, these people would report to a director/owner of the company, whereas further up the scale there might be several tiers of regional, national, or even the fiendishly confusing nightmare of matrix management.

The detail about hardware, software and broadband connectivity can be, either, a total turn-off, or a matter of very keen interest to different brokers.
The basic requirement is a broadband connection, which can vary in capacity depending on what level service you can obtain.
Anything other than rural internet poverty is fine.
The native operating system is Windows, so PCs are the better choice.
And, a local area network will be necessary if there are multiple users in a single office location.

We use a formula that incorporates a host of subtle variations, taking into account AR differences.
This calculation looks at income size, average premium size, anticipated workload, proficiency in terms of Insurance and IT usage, plus other factors.
It would be completely wrong for anybody to assume that the financial results of joining TEn would be like dealing with a Wholesale Broker for everything.
It is nothing like that.
A sub-broker type of proposition would appeal to very few and so there would be very little point in us proposing anything of the sort.
