Mobile catering insurance cover
Every mobile catering business is required to provide public liability insurance
cover and if you employ staff you must provide employers liability insurance by
law. Getting the right specialist insurance cover for your mobile catering
business is a necessity and although the whole insurance cover subject may sound
a bit confusing you may find the following information useful when contacting
insurance companies. So we have set out below some of the used terminology and
important pointers to consider.
Public liability insurance
Will cover you for claims made against you or your business if you
unintentionally cause food poisoning or injury to any member of the public or
cause damage to property. These types of claims although rare can be for huge
sums of money so adequate public liability cover is essential, usually £5m -
£10m. Find specialist mobile catering insurance cover providers and companies in
our business services directory.
Employers liability insurance Will cover you for claims made against you or your business by any of your
employees should they have an accident or incident resulting in a claim. Again,
although rare can be for huge sums so adequate employers liability cover is
essential, usually £10m plus. This product is often linked and combined with the
public liability insurance product above.
