We are able to arrange cover most types of domestic pets, farm animals and even horses, however, the policy is unable to offer cover if you use or supply any animal scheduled under The Dangerous Wild Animals Act (DWAA).

The policy is valid anywhere within the United Kingdom, including Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.

This covers claims arising from the actions of you, an employee or the animal which has resulted in injury to a third-party or damage to their property due to your negligence.

The standard limit is £5,000,000; this can be extended to £10,000,000 for an additional premium.

This section of the policy covers you for claims arising from products supplied by you during the course of your business activities.

The limit of £5,000,000 is standard and is included as part of the Public Liability for no additional charge.

Please note this is NOT cover for retail sales where you sell any products.

Where you have paid, voluntary or self-employed helpers working for you in connection with your business, it is a legal requirement that you have Employers’ Liability insurance.

This will provide cover in the event of them being injured whilst working for you due to your negligence.

The amount of cover provided is £10,000,000.

By including Personal Accident cover under your policy you will be provided with a weekly benefit in the event of you suffering an injury whilst carrying out your business activities.

You can choose from benefits of £100 per week payable for 104 weeks or £250 per week payable for 52 weeks. This section of cover also includes a lump sum compensation for accidental death, permanent loss of sight and/or limbs and total disablement.

Please note that this does not cover any pre-existing conditions or illness, or any injury sustained whilst commuting to or from work.

You can add cover for business property and equipment to your policy. This can include most items used for your business ranging from small items such as hand held equipment and stock to large items such as ride on lawn mowers and office equipment.

We are also able to arrange additional cover for commercial premises, business interruption, theft of money and your home.

This is a separate policy running alongside your main business policy and will provide cover unexpected Legal Expenses relating to your business. These could relate to employment disputes, property and landlord disputes, contract disputes, tax protection or regulatory compliance and much more.
