All businesses are exposed to risks in their day-to-day operations. Without insurance cover to provide protection against some of these risks, businesses would find it difficult to operate efficiently and profitably.
All businesses that employ at least one person are legally required to have Employer’s Liability Insurance.
These days, many people are not afraid to seek compensation. No win - no fee advertisements encourage claims, and businesses need to protect themselves against liability claims that could run into millions of pounds. In addition, you could be held personally responsible and even face criminal charges if found negligent.
Adequate insurance is therefore not a luxury - it is an absolute necessity.
