What is...
office insurance?
Whether you own a small legal firm, a digital agency or an accountancy business, if you have an office building with employees you'll need business insurance. Although it might not seem obvious, running an office does come with risks. One day, an employee could slip over an injure themselves or an electrical fire could break out.
That’s why it’s best to have your back covered should the worst ever happen.
Office insurance helps provide a financial safety net, protects against unforeseen events and provides peace of mind so you and your employees can focus on what’s important - running your business.
Why is office insurance important?
It might not seem obvious, but your business could run into trouble if you don’t have sufficient cover in place. For example:
- You suffer a break-in, and expensive equipment is stolen, meaning you can’t do the job until it’s replaced.
- Something unforeseen happens with suppliers/partners, and you are unable to trade.
Not only do you need cover to protect your staff, but also your customers, your premises and your bank account as you could find yourself unforeseen costs. Without sufficient cover, you could end up paying out of your own pocket if someone makes a claim against your business or if you need to make a claim.
What does office insurance cover?
Policies will vary per provider, and terms and conditions apply, so always check the small print in your policy wording to see what’s included and excluded. Your insurance package could include:
Employers’ liability insurance
In case an employee gets ill or injured because of the work they do for you. A legal requirement if you have employees.
Public liability insurance
In case you injure someone or damage something while providing your services
Commercial building insurance
To protect business premises that you own, whether you're using them or renting them out to others.
Tenant’s renovations
Protection for leased buildings, if you’ve invested in interiors. Your landlord is only responsible for the building.
Business Interruption Insurance
Covers lost income if your commercial property has to close due to material damage
What businesses need office insurance?
Businesses of all shapes and sizes use offices, and we can help insure a range of businesses, including, but not limited to:
- Consulting services
- Marketing, development or design agencies
- Law firms/legal services
- Real estate services
- Accounting services
- Startups
- Other professional services
What does office insurance NOT cover?
This really depends on the policies you take out, but even if you have sufficient coverage not all events may not be covered, including:
- Deliberate events that lead to illness or injury
- Deliberate events that lead to fire or theft
Policies will vary per provider, and terms and conditions apply, so always check the small print in your policy wording to see what’s included and excluded.
How much office insurance will you need?
This really depends on the type of business you are running. For example, if you are giving out legal advice, you may want to consider professional indemnity insurance as an optional extra. This type of insurance helps protect you if a client tries to sue you for professional negligence due to advice you have given them. But this type of insurance wouldn't be suitable for an office that just stores physical supplies, for example.
How much is office insurance?
Your costs will vary depending on the size of your business, where it’s located, the type of cover you take out and your claims history. Get in touch with a member of our insurance team to find out how much you’re looking at paying for an annual office insurance policy.
