Review: upcover online application

upcover makes a big point about how easy the online application process is, so I gave it a try for my passion project. I put in the type of business I run, music composition, and my yearly revenue. Yo be clear, I multiplied my actual income by about 100 to make the quote more reasonable. One of these days...

The screenshot below is the quote I got. upcover recommended Cyber & Privacy Liability cover, but didn't offer professional indemnity for my work. I tried a few different professions and it had different cover types for things like doctors or fitness instructors.

Overall, it was a pretty nice experience, especially getting a quote in less than 15 seconds. If things were ever to pop off and I needed cyber cover, I'd definitely get a more detailed quote.
