When you run busy premises, it might help to have everything in one simple insurance package. And because your business and property are unique, it's good to have the flexibility to choose the extras.
Who we cover
We protect small and medium-sized businesses and their premises. Our customers include a wide variety of business owners up and down the UK. We offer specialist policies for:
- Shops - find out more
- Offices
- People working from home
- Surgeries
And if you’re not in the list, it’s still worth giving us a call. We can still offer a policy for your business – just ask.
What’s covered by the policy?
- Your buildings, fixtures and fittings: including gates, fences, car parks, as well as underground cables and pipes.
- Business interruption: Protects you for income lost if your business is prevented from trading or is interrupted, for example, after a fire, flood or forced entry.
- Cover for stock and cash on premises: available with some commercial property policies. You’ll get a 25% increase in stock cover at peak seasons** as well.
- Legal expenses and a 24-hour legal helpline: we’ll cover your legal costs if you’re involved in data protection, employment, VAT and other types of disputes (see the policy wording).
Important: Like most insurers, our business interruption cover is designed to protect standard risks. While it does include a disease extension, it doesn’t cover Coronavirus or any mutation or variation of this virus*
What can I add?
You’ll also be able to choose a range of optional extras for your policy at the point of purchase. If you decide to insure your buildings, for instance, you can add cover for subsidence, signs, landscaped gardens and more.
You can also add such extras as: cover for theft by employees (up to £5,000), goods in transit, freezer contents, and more. See the policy wording.
