There are many things that can go wrong in your business and with today’s ‘compensation culture’, there’s an ever increasing risk of being sued for negligence. We can provide peace of mind for tradesman and many professions by providing you with a public liability insurance policy for your business. If you employ people then by law you must obtain Employers Liability Insurance for them.

What Covers Will I Require?

  • Employers Liability
    If your tradesman business has employees then it is a legal requirement in the UK to have Employers Liability cover in place. If whilst working for you or under your instruction the employee is injured and your business can be found liable for the injury then your employee could be entitled to compensation.
  • Public Liability
    If someone is injured or third party property is damaged because of your business you could be held liable and be required to pay compensation. A Public Liability Insurance policy, although not required by law, is highly recommended to give you peace of mind against something going wrong within your business. Covers generally range from £1 million to £5 million, with higher levels available for higher risk trades.
