What?

What is public liability insurance?

Public liability insurance covers your business if a customer, client, or member of the public suffers injury or property damage as a result of your business activities. Your insurer covers legal defence costs and any compensation awarded — which can run to £250,000 or more for serious claims — whether the incident occurs at your premises, a client site, or out in the field.

Why?

Why do businesses need public liability insurance?

If your work involves contact with the public or clients, you face real legal and financial exposure. Many clients, councils, event venues, and landlords require proof of £1m–£5m of cover before you can work with them, making it effectively essential for any client-facing business. Without it, you can lose contracts and face unlimited personal liability for claims.
