About business premises insurance
Buildings cover for your commercial premises
We can provide a range of buildings cover to suit any type and size of business premises available to you. This will protect you for escape of water, accidental damage, fire and more (see your policy document for full details). Cover can also be extended to include malicious damage, subsidence and damage cause by theft.
Employers' liability cover
If you employ staff, employers' liability is a legal requirement. We can include this in your business premises policy, therefore covering you for all safety-related incidents and accidents on site, including employees use of tools and equipment (for example forklift trucks) where you are alleged to be at fault.
Public liability cover for your business premises
Each business premises is different, but for many public liability insurance is essential. This provides cover for claims against you from third parties who have been injured or had their property damaged on your business premises due to negligence.
