Building your business insurance policy

Working with electricity involves certain risks so it is important to get the right insurance.
These core covers should help you get started:

Public liability insurance – covers the cost of a claim if one of your clients or member of the public is injured or killed, or if their property is damaged because of your business. Simply Business offers a minimum of £1million in cover or up to £10 million for businesses operating public sector contracts.

Why is public liability important?

Employers’ liability insurance – if you have employees or hire contractors, casual workers or temporary staff, you are required by law to take out employers’ liability cover. It will pay the cost of a claim from an employee who has been injured at work, or who has become seriously ill as a result of working for you.

Details to look out for on your policy

• Check the policy documents before you buy for exclusions and excess
• Consider buying insurance for your van so you can keep your business insurance policies in the same place
• If you work in the commercial sector and provide advice or draw up plans as part of your job you may need professional indemnity insurance
