Business insurance

Business cover starts with understanding your business

Your business changes over time. New activities, employees, premises or contracts can change the questions you need to ask about cover. Start with a clear description of what the business does and the risks you want to discuss.

Describe the operation accurately

Explain your trading activities, where you work and the nature of the work you undertake. If your current arrangements no longer reflect the business, say what has changed rather than assuming an existing policy still fits.

Focus on the terms as well as the premium

When reviewing a policy, understand the insured activities, limits, excesses, exclusions and conditions. A lower premium is not a useful comparison if it changes the protection in ways you have not considered.

The right specialist conversation

We explain the service available for your enquiry and identify who is responsible for any insurance advice, quotation or arrangement. That role needs to be clear before you share detailed information or make a decision.

Keep the first enquiry simple

Tell us your business type, the cover question and any renewal timing. Detailed underwriting information should be collected through the appropriate provider process.

Before you decide

Read the policy documents and ask the responsible insurance firm to explain anything unclear. Cover is subject to the insurer’s terms and acceptance.
