What does office insurance cover?

Pick from a range of covers to create the protection you need.

Public liability insurance

Public liability insurance is designed to protect against legal and compensation costs for any accidents that your business is liable for, injuring or causing damage to the property of clients, suppliers, or members of the public. Unlike some policies, our public liability insurance covers your liability to your landlord if you accidentally damage the premises you rent or hire (including fixtures and fittings). We can offer up to £5 million public liability cover.

Employers' liability insurance

Employers' liability insurance (EL) is a legal requirement for UK companies, even if you only hire contractors, temporary or part-time staff. Our employers' liability insurance provides £10 million cover and automatically covers your employees when they work from home or travel anywhere in the world.

Portable and electronic equipment

This covers your portable and electronic equipment (including accessories) for accidental loss or damage anywhere in the UK and while temporarily removed anywhere in the world.

Buildings insurance

If you own the premises, we can cover the buildings. If you lease the premises, we can cover the fit-out as well as your landlord's fixtures and fittings.

We also provide rent payable cover, which covers you if you are required to continue paying rent to your landlord in the case of an insured property damage event.

Business interruption insurance

This covers your loss of revenue following an insured accident at your premises, so that you can get back to work without losing days of time and money.

Money insurance

Covers the cash you hold, whether it's at your premises, a safe location, or in transit to another safe location. We can offer you up to £3,500 for any single loss on premises during working hours, in transit or while secure in a bank safe.

Legal defence costs

Covers legal costs and expenses arising from a breach of health and safety regulations, consumer protection and food safety acts, as specified in your policy wording.

Office insurance FAQs

Do I need office insurance?

Our comprehensive office cover provides you with insurance for a variety of risks your business faces.

Covers like property damage, business interruption and transit insurance are important for many businesses, as these losses can be unaffordable without insurance.

Some covers may also be legally or contractually required, such as public liability insurance or employers' liability insurance.

What is the excess on this cover?

This will vary depending on the nature of your claim. Some claims won't have any excess and others will. For details, please see your policy schedule.

Does office insurance cover me and my employees working from home?

Yes! Whether you and your employees are in the office, at home, or travelling for work, we can cover you.

My business doesn't involve much interaction with the public. Do I still need public liability insurance?

Even if your business is office-based, you’ll no doubt have clients or members of the public visiting you from time to time, or perhaps your employees attend work events. If an accident happens, either on your premises, or as a result of your activities elsewhere, you could be held liable, with serious financial repercussions for your business.

Do you own office space that you rent out to a business?
