A Comprehensive Business Insurance Solution

Our business insurance for hotels includes:

Public liability insurance

To give you financial peace of mind in case a member of the public is injured or their property is damaged while on your premises.

Employers liability insurance

If you employ staff at your hotel, you’re legally required to have employers liability insurance in case they make a claim for injury or illness while working for you.

Contents insurance

Contents insurance covers all the fixtures and fittings you’ve purchased to make your hotel a comfortable place to stay, such as furniture, lamps, decorations, bathroom and kitchen fittings, etc. You should also include guests’ contents so their belongings are covered in the event of fire, flood, or theft.

Business interruption

If your hotel is unable to fully operate due to repairs or if a supplier goes out of business, business interruption will help to reimburse you for loss of income and cover your overheads.

Buildings cover

Your building is your most expensive asset – without it you have no business – so you need cover in case of fire, theft, flood, or accidental damage.

Financial cover

To protect money on your premises, including money kept in a safe.

There are also a number of optional covers you can include, including subsidence, legal expenses, goods in transit, tenants improvements, and terrorism.
