What do locksmiths do?
Locksmiths are important for maintaining their customers’ safety and security. Whether it’s something simple, like changing a lock or replacing a set of house keys, or something a little more complicated, like installing a new security system to give them peace of mind – the work you do is important.
Why do locksmiths need business insurance?
No business is ever completely immune to accidents, and when they happen it’s best to be prepared. What would happen if you were to damage property when you’re trying to fit a new security system?
In cases like this, you’ll need business insurance to cover the resulting claim. Without insurance you’ll be financially responsible for any claims, which could be detrimental to your business.
What does locksmiths’ insurance cover?
There are various types of insurance you might want to consider as a locksmith, depending on your business and the work you do.
