Today, CFC operates as a specialist insurance provider and managing general agent with capacity from Lloyd's of London and other major markets, serving over 200,000 businesses worldwide across 90+ countries.
The company has grown from its digital origins to become a global specialty insurance platform covering 30+ classes, with particular strength in cyber insurance, transactional liability, and emerging risks. CFC's in-house cyber security and incident response capability is among the largest in the industry, providing policyholders with proactive threat intelligence and 24/7 expert access.
Backed by leading private equity firms EQT AB and Vitruvian Partners, CFC is currently exploring strategic options including a potential IPO or sale that could value the company at approximately GBP 5 billion.
