Insurance covers to consider
When deciding what insurance and covers you need to protect your business, you should consider the following:
Public liability insurance
Public liability insurance is essential to protect you, your clients, suppliers and other members of the public. If someone fell over your tools sustaining an injury, then your public liability insurance should cover any compensation awarded as a result, as well as any legal and medical costs. Similarly, if you accidentally smashed a pane of glass in a door whilst changing a lock, this should be taken care of by your public liability insurance.

Employers' liability cover
If you employ staff, then you will need to take out an employers’ liability insurance policy to fulfil your legal requirements, as well as protect your staff against injuries at work. Typically your locksmith insurance would protect you up to a specified amount for employers’ liability claims.

Personal accident cover
If you were to injure yourself at work, for instance breaking your wrist, then personal accident cover can provide a weekly benefit to tide you over until you are back to full health.

Property covers for locksmiths
As a locksmith, you’ll require a number of tools and specialist products to do your job effectively. If you have an office or storage or lock-up for your equipment you should also consider cover for your buildings, contents & stock.

Business interruption insurance
Business interruption cover can also be added to your locksmith insurance to protect your income and fixed expenses should something happen. This means that if your tools were damaged, your income would be protected until you are able to trade again.

Insurance for contract works
It may be worthwhile considering the need for commercial legal expenses to safeguard against tax and VAT disputes, employment disputes and compensation awards as well as jury service allowance.

Van and vehicle cover
A commercial vehicle or van could be a crucial part of your business; whether it’s for deliveries, tools, or even just getting to and from your customers on a daily basis, we understand the need for a quality cover that gives you peace of mind. Take a look at the business van insurance page to find out more about van insurance for locksmiths.

Tool covers for locksmiths
You may also wish to protect your tools and equipment against theft and damage. You can select the level of tool cover you would like, meaning that you only pay for the cover that you need.
