What insurance do Security business owners need?

Public Liability
Public Liability Insurance protects you against financial liability for third-party personal injury or property damage arising out of your business activities. For example, if a client or visitor was to slip and fall while on your business premises, you would look to this policy to cover the claim.

While these events may seem rare, if they do occur, the financial impacts can be very significant. As a Beauty Therapist your profession involves significant interaction with clients, therefore Public Liability is a crucial cover to hold for your business, whether that’s at your office, out in public, or at your clients’ homes.
Product Liability 
Product liability insurance protects against claims of personal injury or property damage caused by products sold or supplied through your business. It is designed to help protect your business by ensuring that if this happens, you don’t have to pay any legal or court costs.
Business Insurance
Business Insurance is designed to protect businesses and their assets against certain unexpected events. For example it can include cover for your business premises if you own it and/or office equipment for fire, storm, theft and other insured events.

A key part of this policy is Business Interruption, which can include cover for lost revenue if your business is unable to operate due to damage to your property as a result of an insured peril.

Business Insurance includes a number of sections of cover including; loss of Keys, negligent loss of money and. Cash in transit or in a safe.
Professional Indemnity
For claims that involve allegations of breach of contract, misrepresentation, negligence, breach of the Fair Trading Acts, or a mixture of these, where a fee is charged for a professional service.
Personal Accident
Personal Accident can protect you in the event of accidental injury, providing a lump sum payment to help you cover some of your living expenses.

Depending on your individual needs, it can be tailored to cover you if an injury is sustained at work, on your journey to work, or anywhere 24/7. Everyone’s professional and personal circumstances are different, and that’s why it’s important to get the right insurance mix to support your individual needs.
