Hiscox sponsors startup sitcom

Starting your own business can be a traumatic and uncertain time as you step into the unknown and become your own boss.

To help potential entrepreneurs, and offer them a little light relief, Hiscox USA commissioned Leap Year, an online sitcom that tracks the entrepreneurial highs and lows of five friends as they go it alone in the wake of corporate downsizing. With more than one million views, it is worth a watch. The full season is available on YouTube, iTunes and at leapyear-hiscox.tv
