Whatever type of organisation you run, it is likely that you will need numerous types and forms of business insurance to make sure that you are fully protected against as many eventualities as possible. Public liability and employers' liability policies are some of the more common, while insurance policies to protect your equipment, your premises, and even your fleet of company vehicles should also be considered important. Certain types of businesses also require specific types of insurance for their increased protection.

Public liability insurance protects you, your customers, and others. If your actions, or the actions of anybody within your company, lead to injury or damage to property, then you will be held liable for repair and possibly for compensation payments. Public liability insurance will usually protect you for several hundreds of thousands or even millions of pounds so whatever happens you have the policy to back you up.

Employers liability is another important form of business insurance and, if you employ anybody within your organisation, then it is a legal requirement that you have this insurance as well as a sensible idea. If any of your employees becomes ill or gets injured as a result of the work they do and you are found liable then you will have to pay compensation to the affected party. This is where business insurance can prove very beneficial indeed and help your business to keep running even in difficult circumstances.

Protecting your property means that you will be able to carry on with the running of your business even if the worst happens. If your office premises or your business van were to be destroyed by fire or stolen, your business insurance can protect you. It could see your property rebuilt or a new van purchased and the disruption caused kept to a bare minimum.

There are various forms of business insurance that may be a legal requirement for your organisation. Indemnity insurance packages in a number of forms are available and these can protect you against legal action caused by your mistakes or inaction and it is also possible to protect all of your assets from your employees to your business van and the equipment in the back of it.
