    What is public liability insurance?

    Public liability insurance is one of the most important types of business insurances that you should consider. If your business regularly has people visiting your premises or you carry out work at the premises of a client, it will help to provide protection in the event that something goes wrong. For example, if a third-party such as your clients, suppliers, or members of the public suffer personal injury or property damage as a result of your business and the work that you do, it will cover legal expenses or compensation claims if you are found to be responsible.

    What public liability insurance covers

    From minor incidents in the workplace to more serious and costly accidents that could risk the ability of your business to operate, public liability insurance typically provides cover for the following:

    • Repair or replacement cost: In the event that property or possessions are damaged, such as a coffee spill causing a laptop to break, this will provide cover for the cost of repair or replacement.
    • Compensation payments: In the event of third-party injury (or even death).
    • Medical fees: If you are required to pay for hospital treatment or an ambulance call out for a third party, this will provide your business with the cover that it needs.
    • Legal expenses: If you need to go to court, this will cover the costs of any fees and expenses that you incur.

     

    These are just examples of some of the types of public liability insurance cover that we can arrange at Black Lion Broking Services Ltd. As we know that no two businesses are the same, speak to us today to find out which policies will best meet your needs.

    Do I need public liability insurance?

    Public and employers’ liability insurance provides an extra amount of protection for your business. If you provide a service to clients on your premises, have visitors or carry out work at your client’s premises instead, it can give your customers the peace of mind that you are properly protected if things don’t go to plan.

    As an example, if you work in an industry where you visit the premises or homes of clients in order to carry out work (such as a carpet fitter or a cleaner), or you run a coffee shop and your client or a member of the public was injured or became ill and demanded compensation, public liability insurance will protect you in the event of a claim.

    It is important to note that although having public liability insurance is not a legal requirement in the UK, it is possible that your industry regulatory, membership body or clients may require you to have a policy in place.

    The cost of public liability insurance

    At Black Lion Broking Services Ltd we understand that cost is important to your business, but it is crucial to ensure that you are properly protected in line with the risks your business faces. With that in mind, we will take the time to understand the specific needs of your business and recommend the amount of cover that is best suited to you.

    How much public liability insurance cover do I need?

    The amount of public liability insurance cover that you need depends on the nature of your business and the work that you do. To give you an idea, some insurers offer a minimum level of £1 million for public liability insurance policies, and it is important to ensure that you take out enough cover to protect you in the event of a claim.

    In addition, it is also important to double check your public liability insurance policy before starting to work on a new job or contract, as you may be required to have a minimum amount of cover in place, and therefore may be required to take out an additional amount.

    What else do I need to know about public liability insurance?

    As you know, when a business calculates its taxable profit, they are able to deduct costs which are known as ‘allowable expenses’. Business insurance such as public liability insurance is considered an allowable expense, therefore you should ensure that you keep your policy documents safe and keep a record for HMRC.

    How can I get public liability insurance?

    Black Lion Broking Services Ltd have a team of specialist advisers ready to help you get the right protection in place for your business.  

    We will take the time to understand the specific needs of your business and are committed to delivering a completely personalised service, ensuring that you have the best possible cover at the best possible price.
