01223 324233S-Tech has a number of products that are suited to the needs of the biotech and life science sector. Alongside provision for established companies, we also have a start-up facility, specifically designed for the needs of new businesses, where the initial insurance requirements are likely to be modest.
We provide specialist and tailor-made insurance solutions that protect our clients against the wide range of tangible and intangible risks they face within these dynamic sectors and provide customers with full risk appraisals.
S-Tech has been looking after the insurance interests of the biotech and life science sector for more than 35 years. During that time we have developed strong working relationships with specialist underwriters and have been instrumental in the design of bespoke policy wordings for life-science risks. We also have specialists in this area and pride ourselves on the ability to provide a bespoke solution to your individual company’s needs.
Once a company becomes established the insurance needs are likely to become more complex and the Start Up contract can be modified to accommodate the inevitable changes that the business will demand. We are therefore well placed to accommodate the needs of both new and established Life Science risks.
