Coverage
Business Insurance
No two businesses carry the same risks. A consultancy worries about professional advice; a shop about premises and stock; a contractor about job-site liability. Off-the-shelf bundles cover some of it — and quietly miss the rest.
ARK starts with how your business actually operates, then builds cover around the risks that would genuinely hurt: the claim, the fire, the lawsuit, the interruption.
Who this cover is for
- Small business owners protecting premises, stock, and equipment
- Service professionals exposed to claims arising from their advice or work
- Employers meeting obligations to their teams
- Growing companies whose cover hasn't kept pace with their operations
What it can cover
General liability
Third-party injury and property damage arising from your operations or premises.
Commercial property
Buildings, contents, stock, and equipment against fire, theft, and other insured events.
Professional indemnity
Claims alleging loss caused by your professional advice, design, or service.
Business interruption
Lost income and continuing costs while an insured event keeps you from trading.
Exact coverage, limits, and exclusions vary by insurer and policy. Before you commit to anything, Alan will walk you through precisely what a specific policy does — and doesn’t — include.
Worth thinking about
- Contracts with clients and landlords often dictate minimum cover levels — bring them to the conversation.
- Cover should track your real operations: new services, locations, or headcount change your risk.
- Employee-related cover is legally required in many jurisdictions and worth confirming early.
Common questions
Business Insurance FAQs
What insurance does a small business legally need?
It varies by jurisdiction and industry — employee injury cover and motor liability are the most commonly mandated. Alan will help you map the requirements that apply to your specific situation.
What's the difference between general liability and professional indemnity?
General liability responds to physical outcomes — someone slips in your premises. Professional indemnity responds to your work product — a client claims your advice or service caused them financial loss. Many service businesses need both.
Can my cover grow with the business?
Yes — and it should. Policies can be reviewed and restructured as you add staff, locations, or services. An annual review keeps cover aligned with reality.
