Types Of Business Insurance Cover
There are different types of business insurance, and not all business insurance policies will give you the right cover.
As a business owner, you need to know the differences between insurance policies, how they affect your business and what is covered.
Cyber insurance will protect the business and your customers against internet risks such as data destruction, extortion, information theft, hacking and denial of service (DOS) attacks. Our GDPR Tax Credits has the protection of Data Guards Man that Hiscox Insurance Brokers cover.
Employers Liability Insurance is a legal requirement for employees – even if you have temporary staff. The insurance policy protects you against the cost of compensation claims should a staff member get injured or ill through working for you. If you do not have employers liability insurance in place, you could be fined £2,500 every day you are not adequately insured. Your policy must cover the business for at least £5 million.
Business Interruption insurance could help compensate you for financial losses caused when your business cannot operate as usual. The insurance would cover essential works your landlord or utility provider may have to carry out to your premises.
Financial protection if your business activities kill or injure a member of the public or damage their property. If the injured party takes you to court, the policy will cover your legal costs and any compensation you might be liable to pay. Some clients may insist on seeing a copy of your public liability insurance before they work with you.
Professional Indemnity insurance is not a legal requirement, but other businesses may want your business to have the insurance before you start working with them. Professional indemnity insurance provides cover if a client says you have given bad advice or that your work has caused a problem and decides to take legal action.
Buildings and contents insurance would cover your premises and stock against flood, theft and fire.
Credit Risk insurance insures the business against the risk that a customer is not paying their bill.
Keyman insurance is cover for someone essential to your business running should they not work for you due to health or other conditions. Keyman insurance will compensate you against loss.
Landlord insurance will protect the landlord if the rental property is damaged, the tenant cannot pay their rent, or there is a fire in the property. You can also include protection against loss of earnings due to an insured event, such as a flood or fire damage.
