Tips For Buying Café Insurance

Given the many risks that cafés and other retail catering businesses face, this can be a complicated policy to arrange. We would always recommend getting some independent insurance advice before taking out a policy. To help you get started, here are Coversure’s top tips for buying café insurance:

1. Be clear on the details – give your broker as much information as possible on what you do and how you operate – working with deep fat fryers, for example, may increase your risk profile. You should include things like:

  • The value of any stock
  • How much cash you have on site
  • Whether you have any employees.

This will allow them to create a policy that offers you everything you need and avoid you having to pay for things you don’t need

2. Increase your levels of security to reduce premiums – burglar alarms, window locks, not leaving cash overnight, locking away any beers, wines, and spirits, and fitting window grills and security locks can all help reduce your café insurance quote costs

3. Make sure your policy has flexible cover limits – this allows you to increase your level of stock protection to cover busy times like Christmas and the summer months

4. Get some independent advice – an independent broker can offer you the help you need. They can also do the shopping around for you, saving you time and money

Employers’ Liability insurance is a legal requirement if you employ people. It provides cover in the event of your employee injuring themselves or if their property is damaged while at work. The law says that if you employ at least one person, you must have employers’ liability insurance (sometimes called ‘E.L. insurance’) to protect your employees in case they are injured or become ill as a result of working for you. Your policy must:

  • Cover you for at least £5 million
  • Be with an authorised insurer
  • And employers must provide a safe working environment
