FAQs
We offer office insurance that can include:
- Buildings and contents cover
- Public and employers’ liability
- Business interruption cover
- Equipment and IT insurance
- Legal expenses
It’s designed to protect office-based businesses against financial loss from theft, damage, or legal claims.
Yes. Even if the building is managed, you may still need to insure your contents, equipment and any improvements you’ve made.
Some policies may offer limited cover for equipment used off-site. You can add portable equipment cover if your staff regularly work from home or travel with devices.
No, but it can often be added to your office insurance policy. It’s worth considering if your business handles client data or relies heavily on IT systems.
Make a full inventory of your furniture, equipment, and electronics, and calculate the replacement value of each item. Don’t forget stock or specialist tools. Underestimating can leave you out-of-pocket in a claim.
