Why is office insurance important?
Depending on your type of business, office insurance is a backstop for thousands of UK companies and professionals. It’s designed to jump in when unexpected events hit your premises – like a fire, flood, or break-in – providing cover to help with replacement costs for your contents, or urgent building repair works. You can add these covers on to your business insurance policy, combining them with popular options like public liability insurance.

- add tools, accident, and employee cover – you choose what you need
What does an office insurance policy cover?
You know your work best, so we give you the wheel when building your insurance. Office-based businesses often have automatic cover provided by the owner of the building or management company, but if you own your premises or need protection for equipment, contents and fittings, a tailored quote featuring office contents insurance and buildings cover can be a key support.

How we work out example quotes These examples are real quotes from our online system (created 20/09/2023). They’re based on a range of factors, like employees and location. Your own quote will be based on what you tell us about your business. Prices may go up or down from day to day, so the prices you’re quoted may differ to the ones you see here.
What kind of excess should I expect?
An excess is an amount you pay towards any claim you make on your insurance. For example, if your excess is £250 and you make a claim worth £1000, your payout will be a maximum of £750.
Insurance cover | Lowest excess | Highest excess |
|---|---|---|
Public liability | £100 | £2500 |
Employers’ liability | No excess | No excess |
Tools | £60 | £500 |
Stock | £100 | £500 |
Business and office equipment | £50 | £750 |
The figures above are for guidance only and any excess applying to your quote may differ. You’ll get a breakdown of the excesses for each quote when you compare with us.
