Property Damage
This generally refers to the buildings included in your business assets and includes the structure as well as permanent fixtures and the surrounding grounds (driveways, patios, paths and outbuildings). A policy can also be extended to cover machinery and equipment that is critical in running your business.
Public and Products Liability
This class of insurance is designed to protect a business in the event that an allegation of responsibility for personal injury or property damage is brought against the business from a third party.
Business Interruption
This form of insurance is designed and intended to mitigate losses to a company’s trading position, allowing you to get back on track as quickly as possible.
Cyber
Cyber criminals are after data, looking to cause system interruption and obtain money.
No matter how robust your protections are, antivirus can only combat known issues (antivirus companies have been hacked!) and cyber-criminals value all data, yours included. Their method of attack can take many forms.
Management Liability (D&O)
Traditionally known as Directors & Officers Insurance, Management Liability Insurance protects company directors, senior managers and officers of charities, boards and committees if a negligence claim is brought against them in court or at an employment tribunal.
Loss of Licence
As a business, you strive to comply with licensing laws but despite this, your alcohol licence can still be revoked by your Local Authority due to external circumstances beyond your control, such as public nuisance and crime and disorder.
Loss of licence insurance protects against losses from having your alcohol licence revoked and can cover costs and expenses incurred when applying to regain it.
Employers’ Liability
Employers’ Liability insurance is a legal requirement if you employ staff and provides cover if a member of staff is injured or suffers an illness as a result of your business activities.
