Protecting your business

They’ve helped us round up some of their best content around the ways to make sure you’re protected. That could be through their insurance policies or helping you understand what to expect when just starting out.

Consider taking out public liability insurance

Public liability insurance could pay for damages and legal costs if a customer or supplier makes a claim against your business. For example, if someone's injured in your workplace, your business could be held responsible. You could be liable if the products you supply damage someone's property. And you could have a claim made against you if your business activities harm someone else. Would you have enough cash reserves to deal with a potentially lengthy legal process and pay out? That’s where this kind of cover can come in.

For any business that provides advice or a service to customers, professional indemnity can protect you against unexpected legal costs.
