Protects your business if a customer or member of the public is injured or their property is damaged.

Employers’ Liability Insurance

Required by law if you employ anyone, even part-time or casual workers.

Buildings & Contents Insurance

Covers your premises, fixtures, fittings, stock, signage, and business equipment.

Business Interruption Insurance

Covers lost income if your business must close temporarily following an insured event (e.g. fire, flood, or vandalism).

For retail items, perishables, or high-value goods.

Example Scenarios Covered

  • A customer slips on a wet floor in your café → Public Liability claim
  • A fire in your kitchen forces you to close for four weeks → Business Interruption cover
  • A stylist burns a client’s scalp in your salon → Treatment or Professional Liability
  • A van is broken into during delivery → Goods in Transit claim
  • Your retail shop is looted during civil unrest → Stock & Contents claim

How Much Does Business Insurance Cost?

Premiums depend on:

  • Type of business and industry risk
  • Location and security
  • Turnover and number of employees
  • Whether you own or lease premises
  • Claims history and cover limits

Typical examples:

  • Small shops/offices: £250–£750 per year
  • Restaurants/salons: £500–£1,500 per year
  • High-risk or multi-site businesses: from £2,000+

Common Mistakes Business Owners Make

  • Not updating cover after expanding or renovating
  • Forgetting to include Business Interruption cover

  • Failing to declare temporary closures or staffing changes
