Increased broker proactivity is driving more positive sentiment. In a time in which constant change is the norm, the SME Index’s top line measure of broker usage has remained relatively stable.

This year, 35% of SMEs said they purchased their most recent insurance policy through a broker, a figure that has stayed stable since 2017.
