A new commercial insurance product has been introduced by Hiscox Insurance designed especially for top quality venue owners.
The new Hiscox policy will be sold exclusively through brokers and will target places such as art galleries, museums, theatres and so on. Protection will include buildings and contents insurance, public liability, employer liability and also risks from the internet and email. Extras can also be added as needed, for situations such as doctors surgeries where malpractice cover may be required.
A spokesman from Hiscox was pleased to be able to offer this new product and felt that the specialised nature of the policy would lead to it being adopted by the places that need it, the value of the cover being clear to see.
A new policy has been launched by Direct Line that is designed especially for small pubs and restaurants. Cover is included for theft, accidental damage, as well as GBP2 million public liability as well as GBP10 million employers liability cover.
Customers taking out the cover for their businesses can also add on options for their personal premises too, with Direct Line incorporating that into the overall protection. The insurer is aware of the specific issues facing owners and operators of places like these and has created this policy to deal with such factors.
The public and employer liability are key elements of this insurance policy said Direct Line, since pubs and restaurants are prone to such things happening so the policy is structured to ensure sufficient protection is in place.
A new range of insurance has been introduced by Direct Line catering for the needs of small hotel owners having 12 rooms or less.
The Direct Line insurance cover offers both public and product liability up to GBP2 million as well as loss of income protection up to GBP500,000. Policies can also be tailored to incorporate add ons specific to individual needs, typical examples being loss of licence or personal accident.
A spokesperson from Direct Line commented that this new insurance cover would be perfect for smaller operations, enabling them to enjoy all the benefits offered by an insurance company the size of Direct Line with the tailored fit provided by the policy itself.
