What types of Commercial Liability insurances exist?
Public Liability – This covers your legal liability arising out of your business activities. Limits any one claim usually start at £1million cover up to £10million.
Employers Liability – This product is statutory if you have employees. The minimum legal limit is £5,000,000 but cover generally starts at £10million.
Products Liability – This is an extension to the main Public liability cover and covers your legal liability due to products sold or delivered. Limits generally start at £1million any one claim and policy period.
Combined Liability – This combines the above 3 products but does have an element of plant and tools cover with no minimums and maximums levels.
Why would Liability Insurance be right for me?
If you are sole trader, partnership or a limited company you will find that you would require liability cover to be sure that you would be protected personally against any losses that may be incurred due to negligence on your part. This cover applies when you perform a task or a service where financial loss may be sustained as a result of your efforts and this ultimately falls onto the tradesmen/tradeswomen or the service provider.
What do I need to get a competitive Liability insurance quote?
If you are a new start up business or if you are an established business you will have a business model of what exactly your company offers to the public. This information is vital in not only pricing your Insurance policy but also gives a good understanding of what your risk and exposure would be to a potential insurance company. Public & Employers Liability insurance companies generally need details of turnover and wages figures but also how many people you are looking to cover for your company. The more information you give the better the policy will suit your requirements. Companies that offer more than one service can still get cover for all that they require and individual policies can be tailored to your needs.
Who can obtain Liability Insurance?
As it is stated above anyone who offers a service or provides a product can obtain sorts of liability cover and although some elements may not be compulsory it is highly recommended that you cover your business to take the burden and the costs away from yourselves for any claim that may arise against your business.

How long should a Liability quotation process take?
This all depends on what covers you are looking for and what areas your business operates in. For most policies we can return prices the same day but any more complex takes time to ascertain the correct insurance policy for the customers needs.
