Frequently asked questions
Cancel Simply Business: The Right Way
How to cancel Simply Business insurance in singapore and protect your refund rights
What Simply Business is and why you might cancel
Simply Business is an online insurance brokerage platform that connects small business owners with tailored business insurance policies across multiple jurisdictions, including Singapore. The service operates a digital-first model designed to streamline quotation, comparison, and purchase of commercial coverage-reducing the friction of traditional insurance buying.
You might cancel your Simply Business account or policy for several reasons: your business structure has changed, you've secured a more competitive rate elsewhere, your operations have ceased, or the coverage no longer aligns with your current needs. Before you act, understanding your cancellation rights and refund eligibility under Singapore law will protect you from unexpected financial loss. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers navigate cancellation procedures correctly the first time.
Common reasons customers cancel
Small business owners in Singapore typically cancel Simply Business policies after discovering lower premiums through alternative brokers, reducing their operational scope, consolidating multiple policies with a single provider, or identifying coverage gaps. Others find that renewal terms have shifted unfavourably or the policy no longer meets their business model. The timing of your cancellation directly affects your refund position, so early action strengthens your claim to recover unearned premiums.
Timing and refund prospects
Cancellation within the first 14 days of purchase (if your policy includes a cooling-off period) gives you the strongest refund position. If you're well into your policy term-beyond any statutory cooling-off window-refunds become discretionary and depend on your insurer's terms and the reason for cancellation. Yafee recommends you review your policy documents before proceeding, as they contain the exact refund formula applicable to your case.
Your consumer protection rights in singapore
Singapore's consumer protection framework provides you with enforceable rights when purchasing insurance through brokers like Simply Business.
Consumer protection (Fair trading) act protections
Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (CPFTA), Simply Business must disclose all material facts about the policy, present charges transparently, and provide accurate policy terms. They cannot misrepresent coverage, omit relevant conditions, or use deceptive sales practices. If Simply Business breached these obligations-for example, by failing to clarify exclusions or by presenting false information about premium cost-you have grounds to dispute the charge or demand cancellation with a full refund, regardless of the cooling-off period.
The CPFTA does not guarantee a refund simply because you change your mind. Your refund right depends on whether a cooling-off period exists in your policy documents or whether Simply Business itself failed in its legal duties to you.
Cooling-off periods and statutory cancellation rights
Many insurance policies sold in Singapore to consumers include a statutory cooling-off period of 14 days from the policy start date. During this window, you can cancel and receive a full refund of premiums paid, minus any reasonable administrative costs. This right exists by law, not by the insurer's goodwill. Check your policy documents immediately after purchase to confirm whether a cooling-off period applies to your cover.
If you discover that Simply Business or the insurer misrepresented the policy, failed to answer your questions fairly, or breached their service obligations, you can escalate your complaint to the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) or the Consumer Association of Singapore (CASE). Yafee recommends documenting all communication with Simply Business-emails, call records, screenshots of the website representation-before escalation, as this evidence strengthens your case significantly.
Your legal position when cancelling
You have the right to cancel Simply Business insurance if: (1) you are within the cooling-off period and no cooling-off waiver was signed; (2) Simply Business or the insurer misrepresented material facts; (3) the service fell below the standard of care required by law; or (4) the policy terms were not provided clearly before you committed to purchase. If none of these conditions apply and you are outside the cooling-off period, your cancellation may trigger a refund only if the insurer's terms permit it. Yafee advises you to cite the specific ground for your cancellation when contacting Simply Business, as this clarifies your legal entitlement and accelerates the process.
How to cancel your Simply Business policy
Cancellation of a Simply Business policy in Singapore requires you to contact the company directly, as online self-service cancellation options are limited.
Send your cancellation request to the legal department
Simply Business processes all cancellations through its Legal Department at the registered address in Boston, United States. This is a critical procedural requirement: sending your request to the London office (where Simply Business maintains its UK operations) will not result in cancellation processing and may cause unnecessary delays.
You must send your cancellation request in writing. Compose a clear letter or email that includes the following information:
- Your full name and residential address in Singapore
- Your policy number (found on your policy documents or confirmation email)
- The date you wish the cancellation to take effect
- A brief statement of your reason for cancellation (for example: "I am cancelling to reduce business costs" or "I have transferred my cover to another provider")
- Your contact telephone number and email address
- Confirmation of your preferred refund method (bank transfer, original payment method, or cheque)
Obtain the correct boston mailing address
Contact Simply Business directly by phone or email to request the current mailing address for the Legal Department in Boston. Confirm the postal code and street address in writing before you send your cancellation letter, as address changes are common and mail sent to an outdated address may be lost. Yafee recommends taking a screenshot of the address and the date you obtained it-this creates proof of compliance if the company later disputes receipt of your request.
Send your cancellation request by registered mail or email
Use one of the following methods to submit your cancellation:
- Registered mail with delivery confirmation (allows you to prove receipt and the date of delivery)
- Courier service with tracking (DHL, FedEx, or similar; provides proof of international delivery)
- Email to the Legal Department email address (request written confirmation of receipt)
Do not rely on standard unregistered post, as you will have no proof of delivery if Simply Business claims it never received your letter. Retain a copy of your cancellation letter and the proof of sending (delivery receipt, email confirmation, or courier tracking number) for your records.
Follow up if you receive no response within 30 days
Simply Business should acknowledge receipt of your cancellation request within 5 to 10 business days. If you receive no response within this timeframe, send a second letter or email referencing your original request and the date you sent it. Include your proof of delivery from the first attempt. If the company still does not respond within 30 days of your original request, you have grounds to escalate to MAS or CASE and cite the company's failure to process your cancellation as a service breach.
Refunds and timelines after cancellation
Your refund timeline and amount depend on the reason for your cancellation and your insurer's policy terms.
Refund timelines for cancellations within the cooling-off period
If you cancel within the 14-day cooling-off period (if one applies to your policy), the insurer must refund your full premium minus reasonable administrative costs, typically within 14 to 21 days of receiving your cancellation request. The refund should be returned to the payment method you used at purchase (debit card, credit card, or bank transfer) unless you specifically request an alternative method in your cancellation letter.
Refund timelines for cancellations outside the cooling-off period
If you cancel after the cooling-off period expires, your refund depends on the insurer's discretion and the specific policy terms. Some policies allow a refund of unearned premiums on a pro-rata basis (proportional to the unused period remaining on your policy). Others impose an early cancellation fee that reduces or eliminates your refund. Request a detailed breakdown of the refund calculation from Simply Business in writing-do not accept a verbal estimate. Yafee advises you to compare this figure against the pro-rata calculation yourself: (number of days remaining / total days in policy term) x annual premium = your expected refund baseline.
Handling disputes over refund amounts
If Simply Business offers a refund amount that appears incorrect or lower than your policy terms permit, submit a written objection within 14 days. Attach your policy document (highlighting the relevant refund clause), your cancellation letter, and a clear calculation of what you believe the correct refund should be. If Simply Business does not revise their offer within 10 days of your objection, escalate to MAS or CASE with copies of all correspondence.
Common mistakes to avoid during cancellation
Cancellation errors can delay your refund or result in loss of money, but each mistake is preventable with careful planning.
Sending your cancellation to the wrong address
The single most common error is mailing your cancellation request to Simply Business's London office instead of the Boston Legal Department address. London will not process cancellations for policies sold from Singapore, and your letter may be forwarded internally after a delay of weeks. Always confirm the Boston address with Simply Business before sending and use registered or tracked mail so you have proof of delivery.
Failing to reference your policy number
Cancellation requests without a policy number take longer to process because Simply Business must manually search their database to locate your account. Always include your policy number on the first line of your cancellation letter. If you cannot locate your policy number, call Simply Business customer service and request it; do not send your cancellation until you have it in writing.
Cancelling verbally or by phone without written confirmation
If you call Simply Business to cancel, always follow up with a written letter or email confirming the details of your verbal request. Phone cancellations are difficult to prove and the company may claim you never called. Written confirmation gives you legal evidence that you acted promptly and removes ambiguity about what you asked for.
Missing the cooling-off period deadline
The 14-day cooling-off period is measured from your policy start date, not from the date you purchased it. If you bought your policy on 1 January but it became effective on 5 January, your cooling-off period expires on 19 January. Mark this date clearly on your calendar and submit your cancellation request at least 2 days before the deadline to account for mail delays.
After your cancellation is processed
Once Simply Business confirms your cancellation, your policy will terminate and your refund will be processed-but a few additional steps protect you.
Obtain written cancellation confirmation
Request written confirmation of your cancellation from Simply Business, including the cancellation date, the policy termination date, and the refund amount. This document is essential if any disputes arise later or if you need to prove to a third party (such as a landlord or lender) that your insurance was cancelled as of a specific date.
Verify your refund has been received
Check your bank account or credit card statement 21 days after the cancellation date. If the refund has not appeared, contact Simply Business immediately with your cancellation confirmation letter and ask for the transaction reference number of the refund. If the company cannot provide this or claims the refund was sent but you did not receive it, escalate to MAS or CASE and provide your bank statements as evidence.
Confirm you have alternative cover in place
Do not allow a gap in your business insurance. If you are switching to another provider, ensure your new policy has started before your Simply Business policy ends. If you have cancelled without new cover arranged, you expose your business to uninsured liability, which could result in severe financial consequences if an incident occurs.
Pricing and refund calculation table
Use the following table to understand how your refund is calculated based on cancellation timing and policy terms.
| Cancellation scenario | Refund entitlement | Timeline to receive refund |
|---|---|---|
| Within 14-day cooling-off period | Full premium minus admin costs (typically SGD 50-150) | 14-21 days |
| Outside cooling-off, policy active less than 6 months | Pro-rata refund (unused days / total days × premium) | 21-30 days |
| Outside cooling-off, policy active 6+ months | Pro-rata refund minus early cancellation fee (typically 5-10% of premium) | 21-30 days |
| Policy claim submitted before cancellation | No refund (policy served its purpose); claim proceeds independently | N/A |
| Cancellation due to Simply Business breach (misrepresentation) | Full premium plus compensation if damages prove | Varies (escalation to MAS/CASE) |
| Cancellation of automatic renewal | Pro-rata refund if cancelled before renewal premium debited | 14-21 days |
Comparison of cancellation methods and outcomes
Simply Business accepts cancellation by written post or email only; other methods may not be recognised by the company.
| Cancellation method | Proof of delivery | Processing speed | Recommended |
|---|---|---|---|
| Registered mail to Boston Legal Department | Delivery confirmation receipt | 5-10 business days | Highly recommended |
| International courier (DHL, FedEx) to Boston | Tracking number and signature | 3-5 business days | Fastest method |
| Email to Legal Department | Read receipt (request in subject line) | 5-7 business days | Acceptable if London office email is incorrect |
| Phone call to customer service | None without follow-up letter | Immediate (but not processed) | Not recommended without written follow-up |
| London office (mail or email) | May receive, but not processed locally | 10-30 days (forwarded to Boston) | Not recommended (causes delays) |
Common customer experiences and reviews
Cancellation experiences with Simply Business vary based on how early customers submit their request and whether they follow the Boston address requirement.
Positive cancellation experiences
Customers who send their cancellation request to the Boston Legal Department by registered mail and include their policy number typically report successful cancellation within 10 to 15 business days. Refunds have been received within 14 to 21 days for those within the cooling-off period. Yafee notes that customers who obtain written confirmation of the Boston address from Simply Business before sending their request experience fewer delays.
Problematic cancellation experiences
Delays and refusal-to-process cases arise when customers send cancellation letters to the London office, omit their policy number, or fail to use registered mail. Some customers report waiting 30 to 45 days without any acknowledgement from Simply Business, only to discover their letter was sent to an incorrect address. Others have had difficulty obtaining the correct Boston mailing address from the company's customer service team.
Escalation and regulatory contacts
If Simply Business refuses to cancel your policy, processes cancellation incorrectly, or fails to refund you after 30 days, you have the right to escalate your complaint to Singapore's consumer protection authorities.
Monetary authority of singapore (MAS)
The MAS regulates insurance brokers and can investigate complaints about misrepresentation, improper sales practices, or failure to process cancellations. File a complaint with MAS if Simply Business violates the Insurance Act or fails its statutory duties. Include copies of your cancellation request, any responses from the company, and your policy documents.
Consumer association of singapore (CASE)
CASE offers mediation and dispute resolution for consumer complaints. If you and Simply Business cannot resolve the refund dispute directly, CASE can intervene and seek a fair settlement. Mediation through CASE is free and typically resolves disputes within 30 to 60 days.
