An entrepreneur asks whether they can see the insurance price without a salesperson's call, whether they get help immediately when a hacker hits the company's information system and how large a discount can be obtained on business insurance. These decide 50 points out of 100.

Notes
The comparison includes five insurance companies. The price of business insurance depends on the industry, staff and insured amounts, so euro amounts cannot be compared. We therefore measure what the entrepreneur sees before a salesperson makes contact.
Information that was not found on the company's page is left empty and receives no points. No cyber or data security insurance was found at Pohjantähti at all, so cyber assistance could not be measured.
Discount percentages are not directly comparable: If's discount applies to a business insurance package, while Fennia's customer-year discount is based on the length of the customer relationship.
About this comparison
Business insurance brings together property, liability, business interruption and personal insurance, but it is hard for an entrepreneur to see in advance what the insurance really covers and what the excess is. We scored 5 Finnish insurance companies on 20 metrics. The most important question: can you see the content of the cover, the distinction between statutory insurances and the quote request directly on the page, or only after contact?
Business insurance brings together the most important insurances of a company and an entrepreneur: the statutory workers' compensation insurance and YEL insurance, as well as voluntary property, liability, business interruption and cyber insurance. The price is almost always given as a quote, because it depends on the industry, number of staff, turnover and the property to be insured, so no company shows a ready-made euro amount online. In this guide we compare the transparency of Finnish insurance companies' public business insurance pages: whether the entrepreneur can see the content of the insurance cover, the distinction between statutory and voluntary insurances, a request for quote online, the claims process, the terms and product fact sheets, and the insurer before making contact.
What transparency means in this category
Price calculator or quote request online without a phone call (25), insurance cover contents and compensable damages itemised (20), YEL and statutory occupational accident insurance stated separately (15), claims process or claim notification online described (10), terms and product description publicly findable (10), deductible level or determination stated (10), insurer or business ID (Y-tunnus) displayed (10)
How to read the comparison correctly: Half of the points come from buyer's questions, i.e. things the buyer finds out before deciding. The other half measures how openly the company publishes its prices, terms and contact details. Clear differences in points indicate a genuine difference: one tells you the price immediately, another only after logging in. Close scores should not be read as a ranking order, because every measurement has a margin of variation. The measurement accuracy and the full calculation formula are open in the methodology.
Customer experience is brought into the assessment separately. We also collect customer feedback and customer experiences about companies through separate surveys. The survey results will be added to the overall assessment later.
Business insurance is priced by quotation. The price depends on the industry, number of staff, turnover and the property to be insured, so no company shows a ready-made euro amount online. The companies that rise to the top of the comparison are those that offer a quote request or survey directly online and describe the content of the insurance cover openly already on the product page. An online quote request is not full price transparency, but it is better than just a phone number.
Statutory and voluntary ones should be kept separate. An entrepreneur must take out YEL insurance and statutory occupational accident insurance for their employees, and on top of these come voluntary property, liability and business interruption insurance. The companies that rise to the top are those that clearly state which insurances are mandatory and which are voluntary, itemise the damages covered and keep terms and product fact sheets publicly available.
Pohjola Vakuutus (OP) is not included in the comparison. OP sells business insurance, but op.fi serves its content behind a cookie and login wall, which we do not bypass. We were therefore unable to measure its transparency from the public site in this round. This is a measurement gap on our side, not a claim about OP. The same approach has been taken in our other insurance comparisons.
Comparison guide
What to consider in the comparison
The price of business insurance is always a quote: the price depends on the industry, number of staff and insured property, so a ready-made euro amount is not shown online. The companies that rise to the top of the comparison are those that offer a request for quote or a survey directly online and itemise the content of the insurance cover openly.
Distinguish between the mandatory and the voluntary: an entrepreneur must take out YEL insurance and statutory workers' accident insurance for their employees, and on top of these come voluntary property, liability and business interruption insurance. The clearest page states which insurances are mandatory and which are voluntary.
Liability and business interruption insurance are often overlooked: business liability insurance covers personal injury and property damage that the company causes through its operations, and business interruption insurance protects fixed costs if business stops, for example because of a fire or water damage.
Cyber insurance has become a standard product: data security, i.e. cyber insurance covers recovery costs caused by a data breach and business interruption, and it also partly meets the requirements of the data protection regulation.
Pohjola Vakuutus (OP) is not included in the comparison. OP sells business insurance, but op.fi offers its content behind a cookie and login wall, which we do not bypass, so we could not measure its transparency from the public page in this round. This is a measurement gap on our side, not a claim about OP.

Expert tips
Request a quote from at least two insurers and compare what each insurance cover includes. The lowest premium is not the best if liability or business interruption cover is missing or the deductible is high.
Check whether business liability insurance, business interruption insurance and cyber insurance are included in the package or are additional cover bought separately.
Make sure that the statutory workers' accident insurance and YEL insurance are in order before supplementing your cover with voluntary insurance.
Read the product description and insurance terms before buying: they show the excess, the covered damage and the limitations that the euro amount in the quote does not tell you.
Ask about excess options: a larger excess lowers the premium but raises the business's own cost in a claim situation.
Frequently asked questions
Which insurance policies is a company required to take out?
An entrepreneur must take out YEL insurance when the business meets the conditions of the law, and statutory occupational accident insurance for their employees. Other insurance, such as property, liability, business interruption and cyber insurance, is voluntary but often important.
Why is the price of business insurance not shown online?
The price depends on the industry, number of staff, turnover and the property to be insured, so it cannot be shown as a ready-made amount in euros. All the companies in the comparison price business insurance as a quotation, which you get by request for quotation or by contacting them.
What does business liability insurance cover?
Business liability insurance is a so-called basic insurance that covers personal injury and property damage that a company causes to outsiders through its operations. Legal expenses insurance is often taken alongside it for disputes and criminal matters.
What is business interruption insurance?
Business interruption insurance helps cover a company's fixed costs and loss of sales if business is interrupted as a result of property damage such as fire or water damage.
How should business insurance be compared?
Request quotes from several insurers and compare the content of the cover, the deductible and the exclusions, not just the price. Read the product summary and the terms, and make sure that compulsory insurance is in order before optional extra cover.
