Why is security company insurance important?

Small security companies. Freelance professionals. Bouncers and guard patrols. Risk comes with the territory, but might not always be obvious. Would you have the funds ready to cover an employment claim, for example, or a damaged work laptop? Our policies start with public liability insurance for third party accidents and injuries, and build from there.

Typically, we’ll start with public liability insurance, built to cover security industry professionals against accidents and injuries, usually to clients and other third parties.
