Product Overview – What will you get with your takeaway insurance?
Trade Contents
Trade Contents cover under your takeaway insurance will include your business contents (fixtures, fittings, decorations, glass etc) and stock against a wide range of perils, including Accidental Damage, Storm Damage, Fire and Full Theft (unforced entry/distraction).
Business Interruption
If your premises are damaged from an insured event you may find you are temporarily unable to trade; business interruption insurance can cover any loss of income during this period whilst repairs are carried out and you are back up and running.
Employers Liability
Where you employ any staff it is a legal requirement to have Employers Liability insurance in place as part of your takeaway insurance. This will provide you with legal protection against any claims or compensation an employee may be entitled to following an injury at work.
Public Liability
Public liability insurance is essential to protect your business against claims from members of the public in the event you are found to be negligent following an accident at your premises. Takeaway insurance protects you in the instance of slips, trips and accidents. Even an accusation of such an incident may lead to substantial costs being incurred to protect you.
Product Liability
Products liability is an essential cover for takeaways, providing cover for an injury or illness due to goods or services you have provided, covering the cost of defending claims as well as any compensation.
Legal Expenses and Legal Advice Helpline
This cover will assist with defence costs following, for example, Employment Disputes including Compensation awards, Tax or VAT disputes.
The 24-hour legal advice helpline is available to all pub insurance policyholders and can provide advice on legal matters relating to your business helping to ensure you meet your legal requirements in an ever-changing environment.
24-hour Claims Service
When disaster strikes it is important you have someone on hand to help. All takeaway insurance policy holders will be provided with a 24-hour claims line number and help is on hand 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
