2 months' free cover for UK WeWork members. T&Cs apply
WeWork insurance essentials
WeWork has partnered with Superscript to make meeting your membership requirements as simple as possible, with 2 months free* for UK WeWork members.
What types of insurance would satisfy WeWork's membership requirements?
Each type of cover protects a different area of your business from risks that you could be liable for if something went wrong. Most policies consist of one or a combination of the below, but we also have a ton of industry-specific covers that can be added when you're getting a quote.
Public liability
Public liability insurance (similar to commercial general liability insurance) is one of the most common types of insurance a business will purchase. It covers legal and compensation costs you may incur as a result of accidental injuries or damage to property suffered by third parties or anyone who doesn’t work for your business, as a result of an interaction with your employees or your business.
Business equipment
Business equipment insurance protects against accidental damage, loss or theft of the physical equipment you use to run your business. This includes equipment such as phones, laptops and tools, as well as documents and cash.
Once you've completed a quote, you'll be able to view a summary of cover. Please always refer to your policy documents for full details around exclusions, terms and limits of your customised cover.
