Comprehensive cover
BusinessFirst liability protection is designed to meet your immediate insurance needs. It provides protection against insurable risks arising out of claims made by third parties that a small business is potentially exposed to on a daily basis. This protection includes the following general types of cover. Specialist liabilities can also be covered if required.
- General indemnity - for example, a plumber breaks the plumbing at a house and this affects the neighbour’s sewage as well
- Service and repair - for example, a mechanic is fixing someone’s car when the garage burns down or is broken into and the car is damaged or stolen
- Bailee’s liability - for example, a warehouse stores goods such as apples for someone else and the fruit goes off, or the goods are damaged because of a fire or storm
- Tennant’s liability – for example, the office you rent is damaged by water because a tap was left running
- Statutory – for example, you’re fined for not complying with statutory legislation even though it was unintentional
- Employer’s liability – for example, a claim is made against you for not complying with employer-related legislation
