Office Insurance – What Cover do I Get in a Serviced Premises?

One of the biggest costs associated with any business, aside from salaries, is the actual renting or purchase of the business premises where you will trade from. Most new ventures will therefore either trade from home, share premises or rent from someone else. As far as renting is concerned, you tend to have a couple of options. You can either rent your own separate unit and enter into a commercial lease, usually 3 to 5 years. Or, you can rent a suite within a serviced business unit. Traditionally, renting in a serviced unit was purely for offices but most types of businesses can now take up this option. The benefits tend to be that you are not tied into a long, onerous lease and you have a lot of what you need already supplied. Most serviced units will, within their charges, provide you with carpets, furniture, partitions etc. What they do not supply is computers, electronic office equipment and laptops and other portable equipment. You will need to arrange a separate office insurance policy which provides cover for these assets, which belong to you and not the premises owner. It is very easy to think that you have cover automatically within the terms of the lease but this is not usually the case. You can refer to the building owners but their terms and conditions will not normally cover your business assets. As well as cover for the physical items you own, you will need to get your combined liability insurance covers (employers, public and products) as well. The good thing is that UK commercial insurance companies do have simplified package polices. You can include, in addition to your assets and liabilities, cover for cash, business interruption, goods in transit and commercial legal expenses. If you are sharing a premises, and do not have your own separate lockable unit then you must declare this to insurers. Most will not provide theft or malicious damage cover, as you are not solely in control of the security. Others will provide cover, but restrict theft cover only if there has been a physical break in, as opposed to a “walk in, walk out” theft. As ever, you need to speak to an independent business insurance broker about the different cover options and associated costs. Most brokers will turn a quote round in 24 hours and premiums (annually) start at £262.50.
