About
Who we are.
Specialist business protection advice for the directors behind UK SMEs.
Our story
Business protection is all we do
Venturo Protect exists because business protection is the part of financial planning most directors never get round to. Generalist advisers treat it as an afterthought. Commercial brokers focus on the finance. Accountants focus on the numbers. Nobody sits down with the owner and maps the whole picture: the personal guarantees they’ve signed, the people the business can’t lose, what happens to the shares if a co-owner dies, and what happens to their income if they can’t work.
That’s all we do. We take the time to understand how your business is structured, quantify each risk, and build a joined-up recommendation from across the whole market. We’re clear about how we’re paid, and we review your cover as your business changes.
Venturo Protect is part of the Barlow Irvin Group, an established, FCA-authorised advisory firm based in Bolton. That means specialist focus backed by a regulated firm with a track record.

Business protection is all we do, not a sideline to mortgages or pensions.

Whole of market
We compare insurers across the market rather than pushing one provider.
