What cover do you need?

This depends on your business circumstances, but you should think about:

Public liability: This is the most basic level of cover you need, as it covers your business if you are sued by a third party. It covers injury, illness or death caused by your work, or damage to other people's property.
Employers' liability: You legally need this cover if you employ paid or voluntary staff, including labour only subcontractors. You need a minimum cover limit of £5 million, but most insurers automatically cover up to £10 million.
Tools and equipment cover: This can protect tools or equipment you own, or hire. For example, if you hire machinery for a project and are responsible for the insurance.
Contract works: This covers work you have already started if it is damaged before the contract is complete. For example, you have started an extension on a house that is destroyed by fire. Here is more information about contract works insurance.

If you are unsure what cover your business needs, contact one of the brokers via this comparison. They can advise you what protection you need, and compare policies to recommend one that is right for you.
