What insurance do Adventure Sports & Activities Businesses need?

Public Liability

Get a quote

Public Liability Insurance helps protect your business against third-party claims for 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.¹

While these events may seem rare, if they do occur, the financial impact can be very significant. As an Adventure Sport business, your business is likely to have significant interaction with clients, therefore Public Liability insurance is a crucial cover to consider for your business, whether that’s at your store, or out in public.
