What

does Public Liability Insurance Cost?

A basic insurance policy can cost less than

£100 a year including insurance premium tax. The cost of the premiums will

depend on the type and nature of your business, your turnover and the number of

employees.  The number of areas you would

want to cover in your policy might also affect the cost of the premium.

Given below are some reasons when quoted

prices can increase:

• The higher levels of risk associated with your business, its

  turnover and the number of employees

• Higher business turnover is a reason for greater premiums
• If your company has a large amount of employees, this too

  increases cover costs

How

much of insurance cover will you need?

Public Liability Insurance Cost will also

depend on the amount of cover that you will require. For small businesses such

as plumbers, electricians, painters, carpenters etc. the limit is usually

between a minimum of £1million and £5million.

In some trades your customers or potential

customers will demand for proof of adequate public liability cover before

offering you the job or allowing you to work for them. Businesses in the

construction field make it a condition that you have a cover up to a specific

limit.

If your business takes you out to work in

places other than your own premises (off-site work) this policy needs to be

applied for this situation too, including on-site as well.

The public liability cover can also be

extended to include claims made for defective products or design. This is often

referred to as product liability insurance.

best Public Liability Insurance Cost is by calling for quotes from a number of

insurers. These insurers can either be online or offline agents. Calling for a

quote from an online agent is a simple exercise, where you only got to fill in

insurers within a few minutes. Once receipt of these quotes, you can study them

carefully and select a policy which offers you the best Public Liability

Insurance Cost.

insurance agents charge different prices for different levels of cover. Thus
