Public Liability Insurance will help protect as well as add real value to your business. Here are just a few benefits:
Protecting Your Finances
Accidents or damage caused by your business activities can lead to costly legal actions and compensation claims. For example, you might damage a wall or electrical wiring. You might accidentally break something in a customer’s premises. Without adequate insurance, you would be responsible for covering the repair or replacement costs yourself, which can quickly add up and potentially jeopardise your business's financial stability. Public Liability Insurance ensures that your finances remain secure in case of unexpected incidents.
Safeguarding Your Reputation
As a curtain fitter, your reputation is crucial to attracting new clients and sustaining your business in the long term. Any mishaps or accidents that occur during your work can harm your reputation if not handled properly. With Public Liability Insurance, you can demonstrate your commitment to professionalism and accountability. In the event of a claim, having insurance means you’re willing to pay for any damage caused, thus preserving your reputation as a reliable and trustworthy curtain fitter.
Compliance with Customer Requirements
Many customers, especially those in the commercial sector, may require curtain fitters to have Public Liability Insurance before they will hire you. They want assurance that they will not be held liable for any damages or injuries that may occur during the installation process. By having adequate insurance coverage in place, you not only meet customer expectations but also open up opportunities to work with larger businesses or high-profile clients with stricter contractor requirements.
Rhino’s insurance options have the ability to protect you from £1 million to £5 million, depending on the level of cover you need.
Compensation Claims and Legal Costs
You never know when a legal claim might come your way. Suppose a third party, such as a customer or a member of the public, suffers accidental injury or property damage because of your business activities.
