Features of Barbers Insurance

Standard cover

Cover for your barbers' building, contents and equipment

Your barber shop's tools, equipment, contents and cash can be protected by our barber’s insurance against loss from fire, flood, accidental damage or theft. If you own your own barbers' building, we can provide building insurance too.

Public liability insurance for your barbers

It's important you arrange public and products liability insurance for your barber shop, to protect you against potential claims from customers or members of the public arising from an error that was your fault. Choose from £1m, £2m, £5m or £10m cover limits to suit your needs or speak to one of our specialist advisers to find the right cover level for you.

Flexible barber shop insurance to suit your business

Our barbers insurance can be tailored to your shop's needs, with a range of protection options. These include business interruption insurance to cover your ongoing costs if your business suffers a significant insured incident such as a fire or flood that stops you trading, and cover for theft of cash kept on the premises in and out of hours.

Barber shop employers' liability insurance

If you employ staff at your barbers you must under UK law have employers' liability insurance. This protects you in case an employee injures themselves whilst working in your barber shop and subsequently raises a compensation claim against you. Our barber shop insurance can include employers’ liability cover up to £10 million as standard so you are protected against this risk.
