Types of commercial liability insurance
There are many different types of commercial liability insurance available and while not all of them will be relevant to your business or industry, it’s important to understand the different options available. The types of commercial liability insurance include:
- Public liability – This covers your legal liability arising out of your business activities and limits any one claim. Cover typically ranges from £1 million to £10 million. The amount of cover you will require depends on your business.
- Employers liability – Is a mandatory insurance if you have employees. The minimum legal limit is £5,000,000 but cover generally starts at £10million.
- Products liability – if your business sells products, then products liability is an extension to public liability and covers your legal liability around the sale and delivery of products. Limits generally start at £1million for any one claim and policy period.
- Combined liability – A combined liability policy combines all three types of commercial liability insurance and includes an element of plant and tools cover with no minimum or maximum levels.
