FAQs

  • Business Liability, also commonly known as Public Liability, is designed to protect your business against claims resulting from accidents or injuries that occur as result of your business activities, as well as accidental damage to property owned or controlled by someone else. Business Liability insurance can protect you from the financial loss of associated legal costs and compensation.

  • Does your small business have a retail location, office, or rented space? Perhaps you deliver goods or visit clients? As a business owner you are accountable to third parties that come into contact with your business – including customers, suppliers and anyone else who may be involved with your business. If damage or an accident occurs while you’re carrying out your business, the impacted third party may be able to make a claim against your business, which can result in costly legal fees as well as the obligation to pay for the damage or injury you may have caused.
