Romford: N is for New Business Insurance
If you are about to launch or have just launched a business, the first thing I would say is that no two businesses are the same, and therefore, each business will have its own specific needs and requirements when it comes to new business insurance.
Because no two companies are identical, its important to remember that one size does not fit all.
What to consider for your New Business Insurance policy
Here’s a few key areas that I’ve noticed a lot of businesses consider lately, which may provide some food for thought:
Property Damage Insurance
Some businesses operating from a premises may need to insure against damage to the buildings, contents, machinery, plant or stock.
Business Interruption Insurance
This is a wide and complex subject, buy in its simplest form, Business Interruption insurance can cover the revenue/profits of a business (depending on requirements) that could be lost following insured damage.
Liability Insurance
Another very wide and deep topic – businesses call upon this cover in the event that a third party takes a court case against them citing property damage or injury through alleged negligence. Liability Insurance can include Public Liability, Products Liability and Employers Liability Insurance. For information on the legal requirements surrounding liability insurance, see the Employers Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Act 1969. The HSE website provides a wealth of free downloadable information on this and related subjects.
Professional Indemnity Insurance
Businesses offering advice and/or design often purchase this cover to protect themselves in the event of a professional error/omission which causes a third party (often a customer/client) to suffer a financial loss.
