Business insurance can cover your company for financial losses if something goes wrong as a result of your day-to-day business activities. The type of cover you need will depend on what type of work you do. Some examples include a customer being injured by your product, damage or theft of your stock, or sickness or injury to someone in your team.

There are many forms of insurance you can choose to cover your small business, including:

• Public liability insurance
• Employers’ liability insurance
• Product liability insurance
• Stock insurance

There are many other types of insurance you might want - check out our blog to find out more.

Some insurance is optional but we think businesses should plan for every eventuality by protecting what is important to the successful running of your business . Many of your clients, partners and other companies you work with will need proof of insurance as a requirement before they work with you. A great example is that if your small business attends events, you will need the right level of public liability insurance when the event day arrives.

Did you know there is one form of business insurance that you are legally required to have? If your business has employees, then you must have at least £5 million of employers’ liability cover. Lukango can help you understand what you need and when you need it.

Yes, if you are in the process of setting up a new business you can purchase cover before registering your business - you won’t be required to have a company registration number or other registration details before buying. Your business might not be launched yet but if you have equipment, stock, or employees then you have risks you may want to consider protecting.

When you think about ecommerce, companies like Amazon that started way back in 1994, Alibaba and Ebay probably spring to mind. But to be an ecommerce business, you don't have to be one of those giants.

An ecommerce business (or online retailer) includes anything from selling secondhand stuff on Etsy, selling products on your own branded online shop built using a platform like Shopify, through to the techy business owners who sell stuff from their online shop they have built from scratch themselves. Lots of small businesses also sell through social media platforms or even social posts.

Ecommerce businesses benefit from all of the growing technology and tools that mean your customers can buy your products or services from the comfort of their laptops or mobile phones.  Want to get started selling online? Take a look at this blog.

Public Liability which will cover your customers for property damage or injury caused by your business. If you have lots of things to sell, Product Liability covers any injuries or damage as a result of using your products. Once you have people working with you, Employers' Liability will make sure you are protected if one of your employees is injured or gets sick at work and if your money is tied up in your stock, Stock Insurance can help protect you should your stock get stolen or damaged.

The short answer here is that unless you have advised your home insurer that you are using your home, Dad's office or garage to store your business stock, then this policy is unlikely to provide the cover you need.

Our insurer partner Markel Direct’s ecommerce policy provides a range of insurance cover for both your stock and the products you sell, including protection against claims brought about through your interaction with the public or even if you have any employees.

What insurance you will need depends on many different things such as what you sell, who you sell it to, where you sell it - to name just a few.

A core insurance consideration for people who sell things online is product liability insurance. Whether you create, dropship or upcycle products, product liability coverage protects you and your business against the cost of compensation caused by injury or damage to property caused by a faulty product. Our insurer partner Markel Direct pair product liability with public liability insurance. Public liability insurance offers protection for your small business to cover against accident claims and legal fees, if a member of the public is injured or their property is damaged, as a result of your business operations.

Whether it is for your home, mobile phone or valuable stuff, the core purpose of insurance is to cover you for damage or loss. The same applies to insurance for your business.

Public liability offers protection for your small business to cover against accident claims and legal fees, if a member of the public's property is damaged, or injured as a result of your business operations.

Did you know that the leading source of shopping inspiration online is Amazon and that the most common payment service in the UK is Paypal? With over 80% of UK consumers being digital online shoppers, if you are thinking of setting up shop online it may be interesting to know that the most commonly purchased items are clothes, shoes and clothing accessories!

Online is taking the world of shopping by storm and putting strain on our high-street chains. People love the idea of having something ordered and delivered right to their door whether it be that sought after clothing item or fast food delivery. That said, the pop-up and gig economy is booming with entrepreneurs setting up small businesses online to get much needed items to their customers.

The million dollar question that has multiple answers. These days platforms like Woocommerce, Shopify, Etsy and Facebook Marketplace make it easy for you to match the perfect platform with what you sell. The right online shopping platform can only be decided by you depending on how deep your tech knowledge of building an online shop is.

Online retail is booming with the recent announcements of well-known high-street shops like Paperchase and Argos having to rethink their brick and mortar store strategies. Online shoppers rave about just how easy it is to get what you need or desire by the click of a button. Shopping any time, anywhere and without the hustle and bustle of shops is a win for many people. Social apps like TikTok and Facebook even make it easy to purchase the products that are much loved by influencers and product experts.

Online retail is where you buy things on the internet without having to leave your house. It's like shopping at a shopping centre but you don't have to walk anywhere or talk to anyone. Win, win. There are many small businesses who are extending the reach of their customers by complementing casual market sales with online shops.

An online retail business is one that sells products or services over the internet. There are many ways to run an online retail business, but the most common way is to use an ecommerce platform like Shopify and sell products from your very own website.

There are two main ways to run your online retail business. The first is by selling products or services directly on your own website. The second way is selling products or services through a third-party platform such as Amazon or eBay, or even through a marketplace like Etsy.

The UK is fast becoming a nation of internet shoppers. But are we buying even more stuff online than we used to? The answer is a resounding yes according to Statista who early this year (2023) said over 80 percent of the UK population makes ecommerce purchases. This means that a whopping four in five UK consumers are digital buyers. The number of people who shop online has been steadily increasing over time, with a massive rise in recent years potentially because of COVID-19.

Online retail is a booming industry that is focused on the non-physical store or shop sales from online and mail order purchases. The rapid growth of online retail has been massively supported by an increase in smartphone usage and mobile commerce. Smartphones with apps like TikTok have increased the ability to make purchases online, online retail looks set to continue to grow. Consumers of all ages have become more comfortable with making purchases not just on a laptop or computer but also on mobile devices as retailers expand their digital offerings.

The internet has revolutionised how we shop. Small business owners trading as online retailers are able to offer a much wider range of products than brick-and-mortar shops, and they can do it at much lower prices. But there is more to online shopping than just convenience, a bigger selection of products and better prices. The speed with which you can buy goods online means that it’s easier than ever for people to do their shopping from home, or anywhere else in the world.

Online shopping has changed how we live our lives in many ways. It allows us to order groceries when we're hungry, clothes when we need them and even have someone else pick up our prescriptions at the pharmacy. Whatever products you create, make or sell to meet the needs of your customers can be the basis of your online retail shop.

Ecommerce insurance is a type of business insurance that is specifically designed for ecommerce businesses or the online selling part of your business.

So by spending some time working with Lukango’s insurance partners, you’ll be able to tailor a policy that works for your small business. Lukango believes every small business owner deserves ecommerce insurance cover that is tailored and designed with you, for you.

As there is no legal requirement to have public liability insurance, there is no legal limit on how much cover you should have in place.

With Markel Direct, you can choose the amount of cover you have - £1m, £2m or £5m.

The lower the level of cover you have, the lower your premiums will be – but a lower cover limit can also leave you at risk if a large claim is made against your business.

Public liability offers protection for your small business against slips and trips, or property damage of a third party who comes into contact with your business.

Product liability insurance covers you for any damage or injuries that happen to your customers as a result of your product being faulty. This is different from public liability which provides cover should someone slip or trip when they come into contact with your business. Contact could be at your farmer's market, place of work, workshop or where you physically sell your products or services.

If that accident happens, and someone suffers an injury or damage because of one of the products you sell, then product liability coverage protects your business. It is important that you have insurance to cover the depth and scale of what it is that your small business does. This includes making sure you have coverage for any damage caused by your products.

Stock is any goods or merchandise for sale in your small business. This could be the finished product or the raw materials, like wool or glue, that you use to create and sell. Stock insurance covers your most important assets, the things you actually sell to customers, and can replace it up to its purchase value if that disaster happens.

Lost, damaged or stolen, Stock insurance is one of those insurance covers that puts many of the small business owners we know at ease.

This insurance cover needs some attention to detail! Stock insurance does require a little work from you to make sure that in the event of a problem, you have recorded your stock levels accurately so that your policy claim can be paid to the right level.

Stock insurance is typically an additional cover that focuses solely on the protection of stock in the event of theft, damage, fire or loss.

This part of your policy can costs less than a monthly Spotify subscription but has the flexibility to cover your most valuable assets - your stock that you have invested time, money and energy into creating. It is important to understand where the items are stored (i.e. safely and securely) and the value of the items will change the overall cost of the stock insurance.

Keep this in mind and always have simple, easy to understand records of your stock and its value. There could be penalties if your small business fails to make records that will be used in the event of a claim.

Employers' liability insurance covers the cost of compensating employees who are injured at or become ill through work.

You must get employers' liability insurance as soon as you become an employer - and it must cover you for at least £5 million.

Employers' liability insurance will help you pay compensation if an employee is injured or becomes ill because of the work they do for you

The wellness industry has a wealth of opportunities for small businesses. Whatever products or services keep the good old public fit mentally and physically would be classed as a wellness business.

With the effects of Covid-19 and the changes to the way we live our lives and work still being explored, the wellness industry is capitalising on digital wellness experiences broadening the types of wellness businesses we see in the future.

We can now add digital yoga studio owners, personal supper club chefs, life coach, and those of you who offer meditation retreats to the list of wellness businesses.

No matter how your small business focuses on the physical health, mental health and wellbeing of people, you might be thinking about the right insurance for you, your customers and those joy-makers that work with you. Here are some of the covers available to your wellness business:

• Public Liability: to reduce financial risk protect you should someone trip and fall during a Zumba class for example
• Product Liability: in case someone’s cosmetic treatment causes an unexpected reaction
• Employers Liability: to protect your small business if one of your pilates teachers takes a tumble (Negligence based - so would need to slip on water etc…)
• Stock Liability: if your latest batch of lotions and potions is water damaged
• Professional Indemnity: if you give any instruction or advice to your clients that is not as accurate as it should have been

You should consider insurance if you run an online beauty business. Despite operating online, your business may still face potential risks that insurance could help mitigate.

Whilst beauty business insurance will not pay you for any loss or legal liability caused from any cosmetic product you have physically made, it will protect against risks such as customer injury (provided you sourced the product from a supplier based in the UK or EU and complies with the Cosmetic Products Safety Regulations 2008).

Some of the online beauty businesses that could benefit from insurance are:

• Hair Stylist Shampoo Seller
• Makeup Seller
• Specialist Hair Colour Seller
• Brow Pencils and Lash Sellers
• Holistic Beauty Product Retailer
• Nail Varnish Retailer
• Skincare Product Specialist
• And many more

Just like any other business, small online beauty retailers can potentially face numerous risks, such as product liability claims, damage to stock inventory, or cyber threats. Insurance could help protect against these unforeseen events.

Small business insurance can cover lots of different circumstances, including product defects or injuries to third parties. For instance, if a customer has that dreaded bad reaction to your products, your insurance can cover the associated legal costs and compensation.

And just because you didn’t manufacture the product doesn’t mean you can’t have a claim made against you; online beauty retail insurance can cover your business in such scenarios. Additionally, with cyber and data risks insurance, online businesses handling sensitive customer data can cover themselves against potential cyber hacks or security breaches. Get tailored cover fast here

Some common types of insurance online beauty retailers might consider include:

• Public liability insurance: Covers costs related to third-party bodily injuries or third-party property damage
• Product liability insurance: Covers legal costs and expenses following a third party’s (such as a member of the public) property being damaged or them being injured
• Cyber & Data Risks cover: Covers legal costs and expenses following a targeted cyber-attack or data breach.

The cost of small business insurance for your online beauty business varies depending on multiple factors, including the type of risks associated with your business, the size of your business, and the amount of coverage you need.

The scope of coverage can vary a lot based on the coverage you need. We work hard to find jargon-free, easy to understand insurance policies for you – our trusted partner, Markel Direct, will ensure you fully understand what you are covered for and what you’re not.

The specific insurance coverage you may need can vary depending on your business type. However, common insurance policies for beauty and wellness businesses include public liability insurance, employers' liability insurance, professional liability insurance, and cyber & risks insurance.

Public liability insurance is recommended for beauty and wellness businesses as it provides protection in case a customer or member of the public suffers an injury or property damage as a result of your daily business activities. It could cover legal and compensation costs associated with such claims.

If your beauty business has zero employees, you might not need employers' liability insurance. However, even if you have volunteers or temporary staff, it's important to check the legal requirements as you may still need this coverage. As with all good rules there is an exception - if your family is helping you get the business off the ground, you don’t need insurance for them.

Professional liability insurance, gives coverage in case a client claims financial loss or harm resulting from your professional services, advice or consultation. If you provide services that involve potential risks or mistakes, you should consider having professional liability insurance in place.

Certain beauty treatments may require specialised insurance coverage. For example, if you offer cosmetic treatments, you may need specific liability insurance to cover potential injuries or complications. We can help by making insurance covers easy to understand. Get in touch and get a quote.

You own a creative business if you make, design, create, bake or style your products or services for your customers.

From the great British bakers to the vintage clothing customisers, you are the artistic geniuses who share their joy of creating with the world. 

You can make sure your business empire is protected by having insurance, here are a few covers available:

• Public Liability: to reduce financial risk should someone trip and fall during a Zumba class for example
• Product Liability: in case someone’s tasty treat causes an unexpected allergic reaction
• Employers Liability: to protect your small business if one of your creative-makers takes a tumble
• Stock Liability: if your latest personalised customer trainers is water damaged
• Professional Indemnity: if you give any instruction or advice to your clients that is not as accurate as it should have been

Small media and creative businesses face various risks, including legal claims being brought against them, damage to equipment or property, theft of intellectual property, and potential legal claims. Insurance provides financial protection in case of unforeseen events, helping businesses recover from losses and continue their day to day operations.

The insurance needs of small media and creative businesses may vary, but some common types of coverage include public liability insurance, professional liability insurance, and cyber & data risks insurance. We get small business and make it easy to understand the specific coverage needed for your particular business.

Professional indemnity insurance could protect businesses against claims of negligence, errors, or mistakes that may arise from professional services you offer. This coverage helps cover legal expenses, settlements, or judgments resulting from claims a less than happy customer pursues.

Certain types of businesses in the creative and media field may have unique insurance considerations. For example, media companies may need professional indemnity insurance to protect against claims of defamation, copyright infringement, or invasion of privacy. Photographers or videographers might need business equipment insurance to cover their valuable camera gear. It's important to discuss the industry-specific needs that insurance could help protect if something doesn’t go according to plan.

Freelance designers and independent artists can benefit from having insurance coverage. While their work may not involve substantial physical risks, they still face potential liability claims related to the services they provide. For example, if a freelance designer's work is used by a client and results in a copyright infringement claim, professional indemnity insurance could help cover legal expenses and potential damages.

Take a look at the insurance we could offer for those of you working in the creative industry.

If your business gives any professional advice (whether for a fee or not), or provides services or designs to your customers, then you may be held responsible if a client suffers a financial loss due to a mistake or error on your part.

Professional indemnity insurance is tailored for all types of professionals from accountants to consultants. It covers legal costs and damages that crop up from professional mistakes made by your business or from your employees. As an added bonus this kind of insurance covers claims of defamation, copyright infringement or a breakdown of confidentiality

The limit of indemnity is the maximum amount your insurers will pay for a claim under your policy. It is super important to carefully review the policy limits to make sure you have enough cover for any potential legal costs and damages.

Legal expenses insurance can cover a range of legal disputes, including employment disputes, contract disputes, tax disputes, and property disputes. The specific coverage will depend on the policy and the insurance provider.

The limit of indemnity for legal expenses insurance varies depending on the policy and the insurance provider. Read the policy limits carefully, you want to make sure that the policy limits are enough to cover potential legal costs.

The excess is the portion of the legal costs that you will have to pay out of pocket before the insurance coverage kicks in. The amount of the excess will depend on the policy and the insurance provider (a bit like car insurance excess).

Legal expenses insurance policies may have some exclusions, such as intentional or criminal acts. It is important to carefully review the policy exclusions to understand what is not covered.

D&O insurance can cover legal fees, settlements, and judgments arising from claims against directors and officers for wrongful acts. It may also cover costs associated with regulatory investigations and defence against criminal charges.

The size and nature of the business, the financial stability of the company, the industry, the number of directors and officers to be insured, and what level of coverage can all affect the cost of D&O insurance. It is good to be smart here and think about setting a higher level of indemnity if your company is a business with a lot of cash in the pot.

Yes they do. Non-profit organisations in the process of doing good need insurance cover no matter the nature of the business. The directors and partners of the business will still need to stick to the rules and regulations set out for them and having cover for defence costs, settlements and protection against allegations is a handy thing to have.

Phishing attacks: Phishing attacks are one of the most common forms of cyber attacks. They involve tricking users into clicking on a link or downloading an attachment in an email that contains nasty viruses or malicious code. The emails are really great at looking like they are from a legit business or masquerading as a trustworthy source.

Ransomware attacks: Ransomware attacks are on the rise and have become more sophisticated. They involve locking down a business's files or systems before demanding payment to release them. These attacks can be devastating for small businesses that probably don’t have the money to pay the ransom.

Insider threats: Hackers and cyber criminals are always looking for ways to exploit the weak spots in a small business. Insider threats literally come from within! They can come from employees, contractors, or partners who have access to a business's systems and data. The results? Sensitive information or intentional sabotage.

Third-party risks: UK SMEs may also face risks from third-party vendors or suppliers who have access to their systems or data. These risks can include data breaches, theft of intellectual property, or other security threats.

Cyber and data risks insurance should be considered when you have sensitive and confidential information being put online to be shared around the world. While good cyber security measures will help with data and technology failures, insufficient data protection could result in further losses if not covered by cyber insurance policies. Data risk insurance eliminates the uncertainty of a potential worst-case scenario because it insures for the losses that could result from a mishandling of sensitive data.

The risk of cyber attacks and data breaches is no longer an imaginary one. With the advances in tech, cyber security needs to be in place to protect companies from potential breaches of their networks, databases or computers. In some cases this isn’t enough, so adding cyber and data risks insurance could help to protect you, your business, your employees and your customers against the risk of a targeted cyber attack.

Business equipment insurance is a type of insurance policy that gives you a little bit of extra business protection if it is lost, stolen or damaged by unexpected events like theft, flood or fire.

Business equipment insurance can cover a wide range of equipment that you use in the day-to-day running of your business. Think computers, machinery, tools, and other equipment. There are a few things that are not covered so, as with all insurance, it's important to check your policy details.

The amount of business equipment insurance you need will depend on the value of your equipment and the risks your business faces. It's important to assess the value of your equipment and purchase enough insurance to cover the cost of replacing it in the event of a loss.

Business equipment insurance is not a legal requirement in the UK, but it is a good idea to have it to protect your business from potential losses.

Think of a cyber attack as a sneaky attempt by cyber criminals to exploit vulnerabilities in your computer systems or networks. It’s like an unwelcome guest trying to break into your digital home and steal your information.

Professional indemnity insurance could provide protection for your business against claims of professional negligence, misrepresentation, and other errors or omissions that may result in financial loss for a third party.

In the UK, professional services businesses are defined as those that offer expertise and knowledge to customers. These businesses cut across industries including legal firms, accounting companies, engineering firms, marketing agencies and IT consultancies.

Cyber & Risks insurance covers expenses related to data breaches, pesky cyber-attacks, and other cyber threats. This type of insurance could support any business that collects and stores sensitive data electronically, including account information, credit card numbers, and personal identifying information.

The cost of insurance coverage will depend on various factors, including the type of coverage, the level of protection required, the size of your business, your industry, and your business location. It's recommended that you speak with an insurance provider to receive a personalised quote for your professional services business.

There are several types of insurance policies that a retail shop owner needs to consider, such as public liability, employer's liability, stock insurance, and business equipment insurance. Each policy covers different risks and losses, so it's essential to evaluate your business needs to decide which policies are best suited for your shop.

You could need specific insurance coverage for an online retail store, such as cyber & risks cover, as an online business can also be subject to risks like cyber attacks and data breaches. Therefore, it is essential to have comprehensive insurance coverage to ensure you are protected. Take a look at our ecommerce page for more help.

Shop owner insurance can protect your business in the event of theft and burglary. Policies like stock cover could provide coverage for the stock loss or damage and any damage inflicted on the shop.
