We aim to keep your business fully protected should the worst happen and by doing a comparison and giving you options, our quotes will keep your costs down and your cover strong.

We're committed to providing excellent customer service. You can get quotes online or speak to one consultant who will get to know you and your business and they will discuss the types of policy available. They'll search our panel of carefully selected leading UK Insurers and do a comparison of costs and policy, then they will present you with your options. If required, should your business be that little bit more complex, the consultant has access to some specialised underwriters who only work with certain brokers like ourselves. The insurance policy and costs will also be explained in a way you can understand with any questions answered so you're clear about your insurance. We cover all main insurances and have a wide range of optional extras for over 100 trades from landlords commercial insurance for large property portfolios to a public liability insurance quote for self employed.

Common risks

Many trades present their own unique risks so a generic business insurance policy may not cover the essential areas that matter most to your business. With The Business Octopus you can browse for shop insurance, restaurant insurance or any other specific category your business relates to and easily ask for quick quotes that relate to your industry. We can cover repairing damage to pubs and restaurants when people and alcohol don’t mix, or landlords that have discovered malicious or accidental damage to their property.

Replacing furniture and decorating can become a costly expense that the business owner shouldn’t have to pay for, with an office insurance or landlord insurance policy tailored accordingly, these risks can be included in your policy to make sure you are not left out of pocket and that your business is back on its feet as soon as possible, should the worst happen.

Giving advice to clients, make sure you’re covered for any mistakes

The Business Octopus also covers a wide range of professional indemnity issues too, if you as a business owner, or even staff you employ, make mistakes in advice given, you could find yourself in court. This could result in having to pay large awards to the aggrieved parties. Professional indemnity insurance, business professional insurance and Directors & Officers insurance may not only protect you against these costs but also any other expenses that can be placed against you, including legal fees.
