ABOUT
THIS IS WHO WE ARE
AND HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT.
OUR MISSION
We go 'beyond’ traditional insurance.
We help our global clients do more and risk less.
OUR STORY
Our co-founders realized that most insurance solutions fall short of protecting small to midsized enterprises (SMEs) from the emerging risks of our digitally-connected world. That is why in 2018, they launched BOXX with the goal of giving SMEs advanced insurance solutions at an affordable price.
BOXX brings together new technologies, data science, and specialized underwriting to go beyond protection to predict, prevent, and respond to the risks of day and tomorrow.
OUR AIM IS TO REDEFINE INSURANCE BY REDUCING THE COMPLEXITY.
THIS IS THE CORE OF OUR BOXX PROMISE.
