A scheme provides you with a tailored and specialist insurance solution for your clients. It's supported by us here at Aviva and underwritten and administered by you through delegated authority.
Lots of factors can go into running a successful scheme, but what matters most is the relationship between you and your insurer. We believe a scheme is a trusted long-term partnership which builds on the complementary skill sets each party can bring to the table.
No one understands the needs of your client better than you. This simple fact can be key to establishing a supportive and collaborative environment, which lets us work together to develop, deliver and optimise a scheme throughout its lifecycle.
So, if you’re starting a new scheme or looking for a new partner to bring fresh life into your existing scheme, we’d love to hear from you.

Building Underinsurance Checker
By simply entering just a postcode and the building sum insured, we can tell you if we believe a sum insured is at risk of being too low. This will help you have the right conversations with your client and then to take action to get the right limits in place to help avoid your clients being at risk of underinsurance.
