Whether you have one employee or an expanding workforce, employers’ liability insurance is a vital part of your liability insurance for your business.
insurance guide
Product liability insurance is essential cover for any business that sells or manufactures products. It is rarely sold as a standalone product but is often added on to a public liability insurance policy.
Any tour operator which offer a package holiday for sale in the EU (irrespective of destination) must comply with the Package Travel Regulations which came into effect on 1 January 1993. One of the most onerous responsibilities is the need for the tour operator to provide security for passengers’ holiday payments prior to and up to the completion of the package holiday, in the event of the financial failure of the organiser.
Our Travel Regulation Insolvency Protection (TRIP) financial failure product, unlike a trust account, will allow an operator to free up cash flow. We will also provide a logo and wording for your literature to confirm you have appropriate cover in place, putting your clients mind at ease that they are protected at the time they pay for their holiday deposit.
