Does my online business need insurance?

Online businesses require Public Liability, just like physical retail and wholesale businesses.  Claims for third party property damage and personal injury can still be sustained by an online business.  Public Liability can also include Products Liability, which is vital for any retail business, whether they sell from a store or online.

This covers third party property damage or personal injury caused by products.  As long as the insurer is aware that the business is an online one, then Products Liability cover can be provided for any goods sold via the internet.  Stock and Business Contents stored at home or in a warehouse can also be covered under a Business Package policy.

What insurance do I need as a sole trader?

The type of insurance you will require as a sole trader will vary, and depend on your occupation.  For example, are you a mobile tradesman, a salesperson or do you own a business premise?  Are you a property owner, importer/exporter or a professional providing specialist advice? 

The list of potential insurance policies you may require, based on your individual circumstances, is exhaustive.  It is best that you speak with an expert insurance broker to ascertain which policies you should consider, when protecting yourself and your business.
