Lloyd's originated as a major hub for maritime information for sailors, merchants, entrepreneurs, ship owners, and more before soon becoming the prime location for marine underwriting by individuals.
During this time, Lloyd's was located at 16 Lombard Street, which was the very heart of the trade industry, which presented various issues, such as theft, cargo loss, and damaged or sunken vessels, just to name a few.
It wasn't long before Lloyd's decided to use the complex information that is gathered concerning the shipping industry to begin to raise private funds to help provide sea captains and their families with protection for a premium, giving way to the earliest form of insurance, which eventually led to Lloyd's becoming the largest provider of shipping insurance around the world.
Soon after, the insurance company created Lloyd's Agency, which consisted of a network of individuals from around the world whose job it was to keep an avid watch of the market. Doing so enabled the agents to discover the truth so that they could identify problems and provide suggestions for solutions, which significantly increased the effect and the span of the information supplied, thus increasing the added values and expertise the company could offer customers, which in turned improved its reputation.
Then, during the 1900s, the insurance giant went on to establish risk-based pricing, which scrutinized the details of risk to determine the exact risk based on the findings, which helped improve their business of underwriting. The company also began the practice of auditing its members and passed The Lloyd's Act to ensure members remained fair so that policyholders could be satisfied that they could fulfill their claims. The company also continued to expand internationally, soon becoming the world's largest insurance arena of specialty insurance.
Today, the insurance conglomerate offers more than 50 lines of insurance and still growing, using the same principles, which is based on a three-part premise, which includes various brokers that work on behalf of businesses and private individuals who are looking to the market to hedge their risks.
