Real value for brokers, not another dashboard.
PolicyTools.app is a set of pragmatic tools built around how UK brokers actually place, review, and defend business. Here's where each tool pays for itself.
Faster placements
Cut renewal reviews, CoIs, and pre-quote fact-finds from hours to minutes.
Sharper submissions
Hand underwriters the risk data they'd otherwise ask for — before they ask.
Defensible advice
Every diff, gap and screen is auditable, protecting your file and your PI.
Levels the team up
Juniors place risks that used to need the head of department.
Where each tool earns its keep
One-line value case for every tool in the suite.
Sanctions & PEP Screening
Screen a name against global sanctions and PEP lists.FCA and MLR 2017 require documented sanctions and PEP checks before onboarding. This turns a compliance chore into a 10-second lookup with an evidenced report you can hand to auditors.
See the tutorialSubmission Pack
One branded market submission built from live company, risk and screening data.A good submission gets quoted; a thin one gets ignored. This chains the checks you'd otherwise run across four tools into a single document, so even a junior broker sends a submission an underwriter will read.
See the tutorialDemands & Needs
Produce a compliant Demands & Needs statement in one pass.ICOBS 5.2 and Consumer Duty both hinge on evidencing that the cover matched the client's demands and needs. This turns a 20-minute typing job into a two-minute review and gives you a consistent, defensible statement on every file.
See the tutorialRenewal Report
Turn the expiring schedule and renewal terms into a client-ready report.Renewal reports are the single biggest time sink of renewal season and the main thing clients judge you on. This produces one for every account in minutes, with the premium movement explained and the changes flagged before the client finds them.
See the tutorialCompany Insights Hub
Companies House data: turnover, wage roll, headcount.Removes the 'estimate your wage roll' guesswork and gets you a defensible rating basis on day one. Also flags trading changes that should trigger a mid-term review.
See the tutorialPostcode Risk Check
Instant flood and subsidence risk for any UK postcode.Kills bad-risk quotes before you waste underwriter time. Also gives you an evidenced answer when a client asks 'why is my premium so high?'
See the tutorialQuote Ready
Pre-quote survey checklist for property insurance.Kills the back-and-forth that drags placements out for weeks. One clean submission means faster quotes, better terms, and fewer subjectivities.
See the tutorialPolicy Compare
Diff two policy documents and surface material wording changes.Renewal season is 80% reading the same policy twice. Policy Compare turns a 3-hour wording review into a 5-minute checklist, and gives you an auditable redline to defend advice if a claim is ever disputed.
See the tutorialGap Scan
Compare a schedule against the statement of fact.Non-disclosure is the #1 cause of avoided claims. Gap Scan is a two-minute audit that protects both the client and your PI record.
See the tutorialClause Library
Searchable standard policy clauses with plain-English explanations.Clients ask what a clause actually means, and juniors need an answer they can trust. This gives a consistent, plain-English explanation of every market-standard clause, plus the claim-stage reason it matters — so advice is the same across the team and evidenced on file.
See the tutorialPolicy Export Pro
Bulk export and reformat policy documents for clients.Stops brokers manually re-typesetting insurer packs. Deliver a consistent, branded client pack across every account without a marketing team.
See the tutorialCoverage Companion
Spot cover gaps from a staff schedule CSV.Turns EL / PL reviews from a rubber-stamp into a genuine advice touchpoint. Great for winning new business off incumbent brokers who never looked at the schedule.
See the tutorialPremium Pricing Pal
Benchmark insurer rate per £1 of building declared value.Gives brokers instant leverage in negotiations — 'your rate is 40% above the median for this construction class, can you sharpen it?' Also useful for defending your commission when clients push back.
See the tutorialPremium Profit Calculator

See the tutorialCall to Text

See the tutorialOccupancy Insure Finder
Find insurers and MGAs that write a given property occupancy.Non-standard risks used to mean calling ten underwriters to hear 'no'. This turns placement research into a 30-second lookup, so junior brokers can place risks that used to need the head of department.
See the tutorialListed Buildings Search
Check statutory listing status and construction data for any UK address.Listed status drives rebuild cost, reinstatement wording and insurer appetite. Confirm grade in seconds before you place the risk.
See the tutorialCharity Compass
Charity Commission lookups: investigations and status.Not-for-profit is a growing book but hides governance risks most brokers can't see. Charity Compass surfaces them before you bind — and before an underwriter raises a subjectivity.
See the tutorialFoodie Finder
Food hygiene ratings for restaurants and takeaways.Hospitality underwriters routinely decline anything under a 3. Screen prospects in seconds before you spend an afternoon on the submission.
See the tutorialSchool Report Hub
Latest Ofsted results and reports for UK schools.Education insurers rate off Ofsted. A one-line 'Good, last inspected March 2024' in your submission gets sharper terms than 'client says Ofsted is fine'.
See the tutorialLondon Tree Finder
Every tree within 10m of a London address.Subsidence underwriters price trees. Handing them a species-level tree schedule cuts loadings and turns 'declined' into 'quoted' on borderline risks.
