What’s business insurance?
Business insurance includes cover that protects you and your company from financial damages andbuilding or contents losses, relevant to your field or specialism.
Broadly speaking, the most popular business insurance policies include public liability, professional indemnity and employers’ liability, with good reason:
Public liability insurance
Hell hath no fury like a scorned member of the public, especially when it comes to claims.
Public liability insurance protects you if you damage their property, if they have an accident on your premises, or if you provide any advice or service (that doesn’t pan out) for a fee.
Professional indemnity insurance
If one of your customers sues you because you’ve damaged their property, or they claim you haven’t fulfilled your duties, professional indemnity insurance to the rescue to cover your legal fees.
Employers' liability
It’ll cover the cost of the compensation plus legal fees if an employee sues you if they’re injured, or they contract a disease at work.
But different policies will include all sorts of other cover, and you can make your policy suit the nuances of your business - fancy, eh?
You can read all about more specialist business insurance in our guides and tips filed away in the Business insurance briefcase.
