Public Liability Insurance

Safeguard against claims from third parties for injury or property damage linked to your business.

Business insurance

Cover that fits the way you work

If a customer, visitor or member of the public is injured, or their property is damaged, because of your business, they may claim against you. Public liability insurance can cover the compensation and legal costs, so one incident doesn’t threaten everything you’ve built.

Who it’s for

  • Tradespeople and contractors
  • Shops, salons and hospitality businesses
  • Event organisers and market traders
  • Consultants and freelancers who visit clients

FAQs

Common questions

Is public liability insurance a legal requirement?

It isn’t generally required by law, but clients, venues, councils and landlords often insist on it, sometimes at a specific limit. We’ll help you pick the right level.

How much cover do I need?

It depends on your work, who you deal with and what your contracts ask for. Many small businesses choose £1m–£5m, but we’ll talk it through rather than guess.
