About Superscript

Established in 2015, we called ourselves Digital Risks. We set out with a simple ambition: to make insurance better for digital businesses. We sparked something special: great products, and a seamless experience to match.

The flexibility offered by our monthly subscription was popular with other businesses too. So, we now provide cover for over 1,000 business types.

In 2020, we became Superscript. A name that, by definition, encapsulates what we’re all about: elevating our customers by providing better cover.
