If you are not a sole tradesman, and your employees are not family members, you will need to have employers liability insurance cover. It is a legal obligation for your company to have employer’s liability insurance. It may still be a good idea to get employers’ liability insurance if your business is family-run.
Employers’ liability insurance is designed to cover any costs that may occur from an employee claiming compensation for any work-related illness or injury.
As a tradesman, it is likely that you have a lot of important equipment upon which your business relies. Business equipment insurance will cover any tools or work equipment that have been accidentally damaged, lost or stolen. The extent to which your items are covered will depend on the policy you agree upon, but most policies will include a tool and equipment policy limit with a maximum sum insured of £5000.
It is important that you take the time to accurately calculate the value of your business equipment when searching for business equipment insurance. This is to avoid the risk of under-valuing your items and not being recompensed appropriately to replace them, or over-valuing them and ending up paying higher premiums.
Many tradesmen rely on using vans to transport and store their equipment between jobs. Vehicle insurance is vital for those who rely on their vehicle to run a business. Specialised van insurance may include the following:
Here at Proper Finance, we offer specialised van insurance so that your van and its important contents are safeguarded. We also offer truck and lorry insurance for those who use even heavier vehicles to get around for work.
If you work on a temporary contract, you can get a policy out on that individual project only with contract works insurance. This kind of policy may also include getting insurance on the tools you use to complete the work, too. Getting this kind of policy means you only pay for the insurance on that specific project.
Contract works insurance is not exclusively for temporary contracts and is used to cover any damage may occur to the building site or to the work that you are doing in a particular project. It is a way of ensuring the safety of any work in progress.
