Why insurance matters for small and medium sized businesses

 If you own or operate a small or medium sized business across the Channel Islands, Islands will ensure you have the appropriate insurance cover in place to suit your business needs. Not only will an insurance policy protect your business in the unfortunate event that something goes wrong, it will also give your customers peace of mind and reinforce your trusted reputation within your business sector. 

Not having the appropriate insurance can interfere with your participation in relevant industry events, such as trade shows and job fairs, when you move your growing business into its first commercial lease, when a customer wants the reassurance of proof of insurance, and especially when you’re looking at recruiting and you want your trusted reputation to carry over into protection for your employees.   

At Islands, our professional team are here to help give you the protection you need so give us a call today and get coverage for your business needs.

What is Public Liability cover?

Public Liability cover protects you if you are held responsible for injury to a person or damage to property as the owner or occupier of your home.

Example: If a roof tile falls from your home and injures a visitor, your home insurance may cover the claim.

If your home insurance includes Employer’s Liability cover, it protects you if an employee suffers illness, injury, or death while working for you.

This applies to domestic workers, such as:

  • Cleaners
  • Drivers
  • Anyone employed under a contract.

Check your policy wording for details or contact us if you need more information.

Why do I need Family Legal Expenses cover?
