R&D for small and start-up organisations

Markel understand that small, start-up research and development
companies need specialist cover, with premiums that are also affordable.

We provide public and products liability insurance on a stand-alone basis, and offer clients the opportunity to add optional covers to create a package policy if required.

To qualify for this product a company must:

• Be undertaking own research and development of products or services in the following sectors: medicines, medical devices, vitamins and food supplements, medical food, laboratory equipment, cosmetics or cosmetic devices
• Have fewer than 10 employees
• A fee income of less than £30,000 per annum
• A maximum annual income of £500,000 from other sources

Alternatively, our biomedical and life sciences insurance may be suitable for those unable to comply.

More than just insurance cover

Alongside insurance solutions, we can also assist your clients with tax and funding services such as R&D tax relief, tax funding and patent box through Markel Tax.
