Is Public Liability Insurance essential?
While not a legal requirement, Public Liability insurance is highly recommended to protect your business against any unforeseen accidents and circumstances. In fact, without this type of insurance cover, you may struggle to attain clients as some companies will only work with other companies that have Public Liability insurance to assure that all parties are covered in the event of an unforeseen incident.
Employers Liability Insurance
Unlike Public Liability insurance, Employers Liability insurance is most certainly a legal requirement for every employer in the UK. This insurance covers you and your business for any costs that you may incur by way of compensation to your employees if they become ill or incapacitated. Suppose your company is caught without Employers Liability cover. In that case, you can be fined up to £2,500 each day. While there are some specific exemptions, such as unincorporated family businesses, most businesses fall well within the scope for the requirement of Employers Liability insurance.
