- What insurance does a business need?
Different businesses can face different types of risk, and there are many forms of business insurance available in the market. These can include cover for things like injury or damage caused to others, damage to property or stock, legal costs, or interruptions to trading.
Some common types of business insurance include public liability insurance, employers’ liability insurance, professional indemnity insurance, product liability insurance and stock insurance.
The types of insurance available, and what they cover, can vary depending on the insurer and the nature of a business. To understand what options are available and how they might apply to your business, you can speak to Markel Direct, Lukango’s insurance partner.

Some types of business insurance are optional, while others are required by law. In the UK, employers’ liability insurance is a legal requirement for most businesses that employ staff, including part-time and temporary employees. Other types of business insurance, such as public liability or professional indemnity insurance, are not usually required by law, but are widely available in the market.
