Having a
cheap traders insurance policy doesn’t mean that you need to leave certain
criteria off in order to save money. A good policy will offer your business all
the protection you need at an affordable price.
The
quote you choose may not be the cheapest; the aim is to find the best coverage
at the lowest price. There are certain things you cannot leave out of the
policy and a couple of added extras you can include to give you peace of mind
on a daily basis.
Every
policy for your industry should protect the building, the building is essential
to the day to day running of the business. This should be protected against
fire, storm damage and theft. At least if you happen to be up north and your
building is effected by the horrific flooding, you can get it repaired as
quickly as possible without the expense.
You
cannot operate a business without adequate liability cover. Public liability
cover is an essential part of your business if you welcome customers and
visitors through your doors on a daily basis. A customer falling in your
property can set you back thousands, a claim can be for mental distress and loss
of income and you will be held legally responsible to pay the claim. In severe
cases your assets can be seized in order to pay, having this cover can save a
lot of frustration and heart ache.
Employer’s
liability is a legal requirement in the UK from the minute you hire your first
employee. This cover protects both you and the staff member in the event of an
accident and your business already is a risky place to work with complicated
machinery.
From
here you can add your own personal vehicles to the policy; this can save you
money by cancelling your private auto cover at home. You can include your
spouse on the policy too, giving you one payment to worry about.
There is
road risks and demonstration cover that can be included depending on the type
of business you run. Road risks enables you and staff members you choose to
drive customer vehicles, while demonstration cover enables customers to try
before they buy.
You can
add loss of income as an additional cover; this is a handy cover to have.
Should your building be damaged and you are unable to work while repairs are
being carried out, you can enjoy the fact that you are not losing profits and
are still able to stay up to date with bills and staff wages until you can get
working again.
The last
essential cover you can add to your cheap traders insurance is a policy that
covers you should you lose your driving license. You can enjoy receiving a
travel allowance that you can use to get you to and from work or hire an
additional driver to ensure your business doesn’t suffer.
