Why you need Fire & Security Insurance
There are legal requirements in the United Kingdom to have certain insurance policies in place in the Fire & Security sector, with two fundamental elements of cover you need to be aware of.
- Business Interruption
Business interruption insurance is insurance coverage that replaces business income lost in a disaster. The event could be, for example, a fire or a natural disaster. - Employers Liability
This is also a legal requirement if you have at least one employee, and does include many types of sub-contractor, too. If you are caught without cover, you can be fined up to £2,500 per employee, per day.
