Who needs Office Insurance?

Office Insurance is essential for anyone who runs a company with a business premises, whether this be at your home, or an external environment. Businesses can have a lot of high cost possessions, including computers and other hardware, but also things like desks, office chairs, even the sofas and water cooler in a client lounge. Without this space to work in, your business could suffer.

When considering the levels of cover to take out, it’s important to not underestimate how important basic office supplies are to you. Could you afford to re-equip your office from scratch if it were to be damaged in a flood, or even stolen? All without having a place for your employees to work and carry out business, maybe even putting your trading on hold? The most likely answer is no, and most small businesses struggle to re open after events like this without the proper insurance in place.
