Which covers do I need?
While every company is different, some types of insurance make sense for a lot of business. Here are some covers you may want to consider.
Public liability insurance
Designed to cover claims made against you by members of the public for accidental injury or property damage. It can pay your legal fees and compensation costs.
Professional indemnity insurance
Also known as errors and omissions insurance, this can pay legal fees and compensation award to a client if they suffer a financial loss because of mistakes in your services.
Employers' liability insurance
Can cover the legal and compensation costs associated with claims made by employees. If you have any staff, this is likely to be a legal requirement.
Business equipment insurance
Designed to pay for repairs or replacement if your kit gets lost, damaged or stolen. Can cover you whether you’re in the office, out and about or working from home.
Cyber insurance
Often overlooked, but a key cover for any business using computers or handling data, this provides protection against things like cyber attacks or accidental data breaches.
D&O insurance
Also known as management liability insurance, D&O insurance covers your directors or management team against claims from employees, the public or investors.
Legal protection insurance
Can cover legal fees and gives businesses without an in-house legal team access to professional expertise, including a legal and tax helpline, in the event of a claim or dispute.
