What is nightclub insurance?
Nightclub insurance is a combination of covers built around running a licensed venue with door security, entertainment and crowds, public liability for customer injury, employers’ liability for your team including door staff, and loss of licence cover to protect your income if your alcohol licence is ever suspended.
Your capacity is set by the fire and rescue authority, and any door supervisor you use must hold a licence from the Security Industry Authority (SIA), both matter to how you’re insured, not just your licensing.
Nightclub insurance can include:

There’s no fixed price. It depends on your capacity, number of door and bar staff, entertainment and your claims history.
Permitted capacity
A higher capacity generally means a higher premium.
Loss of licence cover
Adding this cover increases your premium but protects your income.
Number of staff
More employees, including door staff, increase your employers’ liability exposure.
Level of cover
Higher public liability limits increase your premium.
Entertainment
Live music, DJs or regular events can affect your premium.
Claims history
A clean claims record helps keep premiums down at renewal.
