Insurance for barbers

Insurance designed for barbers and barber shops

The barber trade carries its own set of risks and you’ll need an insurance policy that protects both you and your customers. With Simply Business you can get just that, choosing from covers including public liability and employers’ liability insurance to build a single business insurance policy. You’ll get one premium, one renewal date, and one set of documents. It’s quick, quality cover, without the hassle.

When getting your quote, if you run your own shop and you need covers like business buildings and stock insurance, please choose the trade barber shop.

Cover from £6.82 a month, get insured in minutes. (10% of direct debit customers repay their annual policy in 10 monthly payments of £6.82 or less across all our trades insured. Based on data from 1 October 2019 - 31 March 2020, for comparison only. Cancellation charges may apply, please refer to our full terms & conditions.)

What insurance do barbers need?

Public liability insurance is often an important cover for barbers and most other trades, as it can protect you if someone is injured or their property is damaged because of your business. Simply Business offers between £1 million and £5 million in cover, to protect you against this cost.

If you have employees, contractors, casual workers or temporary staff, you’re required by law to take out employers’ liability insurance. It’ll cover claims from employees who’ve been injured or become seriously ill as a result of working for you.
