Insurance for barbers

Insurance designed for barbers and barber shops

The barber trade carries its own unique set of risks, so you’ll need an insurance policy that protects both you and your customers. With Simply Business you can get just that, choosing from a range of key 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.

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.
