Aon and Doerscircle partner to provide insurance solutions

By Edil Corneille

UK company Aon, a global professional services firm providing a broad range of risk, retirement and health solutions, today announced its collaboration with Singapore-based Doerscircle, an all-in-one platform to source and market insurance solutions to entrepreneurs and independent workers. Both parties aim to re-design and provide new insurance solutions for the large and often underserved workforce of entrepreneurs, startuppers and freelancers, initially in Asia.

Through the strategic collaboration, Aon and Doerscircle will develop and source commercial, risk, and health insurance solutions that address the needs of smaller enterprises and independent workers, enabling them to focus on growing their business instead of spending their time and energy on understanding and managing insurance issues.

Historically, processes involving insurance have been manual, expensive and, in some cases, unavailable for individual contributors. Aon’s collaboration with Doerscircle will allow entrepreneurs, startuppers and freelancers to manage their risks in a convenient and seamless way. Members of Doerscircle will have access to tailored insurance solutions through a streamlined online process on the Doerscircle platform. Over time, Doerscircle aims to extend these offerings to include more products and countries leveraging Aon’s network, risk management expertise, and global capabilities.

“The current business and economic environment is changing the way people work,” said Tobias Schneider, head of Financial Institutions and SME, Affinity Asia at Aon. “We are excited to collaborate with Doerscircle to address the specific insurance needs of this key segment of independent workers.”

“Doerscircle aims to challenge the status quo and reshape the world for Independent Doers – entrepreneurs, startuppers and freelancers. We strongly believe that insurance solutions should be accessible, relevant, easy to understand and transparent. We’re thrilled that Aon has the same vision. We’re confident that together we will set new standards in insurance offerings for Independent Doers,” said Helle Priess, founder of Doerscircle.
