Building your business insurance policy

You may need a few different types of insurance to cover your hairdressing business.  Using our simple, clear form you can build them all into one policy.

These core business insurance covers should help you get started.

Public liability insurance – if a customer is injured or their property somehow damaged because of your business, you could face a claim for hundreds or even thousands of pounds. This insurance will cover the cost of such a claim.

Employers’ liability insurance – if you have staff, they must legally be protected by employers' liability insurance.  If a member of your staff becomes ill or is injured as a result of working for you, they may claim compensation. This type of insurance would cover the cost of that claim and any related legal expenses.
