About Us

Forces Compare is an independent claims and insurance specialist, dedicated to comparing the best insurance and finance options for those with a military background. The company was founded by Alfie Usher, a veteran who served in Afghanistan twice, and was part of the Parachute Regiment for 10 years.

Whilst insurance and finance has always been difficult to compare for those in the armed forces, there are many reputable providers, all with highly respected pricing and policies. Forces Compare brings all of those options to your fingertips, and allows you to easily search for the insurance or finance you need, in the shortest manner possible, and with the best results in mind.
