Our solutions – Special Purpose Arrangement

We work with aspiring new entrants to find the route into Lloyd’s that best meets your circumstances and objectives.

Special Purpose Arrangement (SPA) – who is it for?

  • A business or capital provider seeking to gain exposure to underwriting at Lloyd’s and the additional distribution it offers.
  • Businesses seeking flexibility of either a cost-effective long-term partnership with a “host” syndicate, or migration to full syndicate over time.

SPA – how is it different to a Syndicate?

  • By utilising a “host” Lloyd’s syndicate under a quota share reinsurance arrangement, the application process is more streamlined and approval can be quicker.
  • £10m minimum GWP in year one.
  • Reduced Lloyd’s Application fee.
