Packaged policies offer a number of benefits. They ensure that cover will be comprehensive enough to cover the main risks affecting your business whilst avoiding duplication and overlap. It is also easier to manage as you have a single set of documents - one point of contact and one renewal date. Packages are often less expensive as insurers will offer a better total premium when they are providing all your cover.
The following insurances are common, highly practical and in some cases a legal requirement:
-
Employers liability insurance If you employ anyone outside your immediate family, you are required by law to purchase employer's liability insurance. This insurance offers you protection for any liability arising from injury or illness sustained by employees while they are working for you.
-
Motor insurance If you use a motor vehicle for your business, you have to insure at a minimum against third party liability by law. You should also strongly consider extending your protection to cover your motor vehicle from collision and theft.
-
Public liability This will protect you from any liabilities from a Third Party (other than your employees) bodily injury or damage to their property that may occur during the normal operation of your business.
-
Products liability This will protect you from any liabilities from a Third Party bodily injury (other than your employees) or damage to their property that may occur from products you sold or supplied.
-
Material damage insurance There are several different insurances that are designed to cover your various assets (building, computer equipment, stock, or contents) from loss or damage caused by various causes (fire, flood, theft or other disasters).
-
Business interruption insurance This covers you from the loss of turnover or trading profits from damage to your property that prevents the normal operation of your business.
-
Money insurance In specific circumstances this will reimburse you for money that is lost or stolen from the premises, your home or whilst you are moving it to another location.
