Protect your business
Getting the right insurance for your business is crucial to fulfil your legal obligations and to protect your business should something go wrong.
There are two main policies you must have by law:
Employers' liability insurance if you employ any staff. It covers claims if they are hurt or die while working for you.
Commercial vehicle insurance if you use a vehicle for your business. You need third party cover as a minimum, but comprehensive policies can offer better protection.
Look carefully at the cover your business needs, not just what you need to have by law. Find out how to insure your business here.
