How accurate does the replacement value I select for my office contents need to be?
It's really important that you give as accurate a picture of the cost of replacing your contents items as possible. If you insure your office contents for less than their total replacement value, any amount paid to you in the event of a claim could be reduced by the same proportion that you are under insured.
Can I insure contents at more than one office?
We do cover businesses with more than one office, but it isn't something we can offer online. If your business has more than one office, or you're thinking of expanding over the next 12 months, please call and speak to one of our business insurance experts.
If I work from home, do I need office contents insurance?
You should check your home insurance policy first. Most offer some level of 'home office' cover, but it may not be as comprehensive as a business insurance policy.
Would my laptop and mobile phone be covered under my office contents policy?
They would be covered against loss and damage while they are being used or stored within the office. The policy does cover loss and damage to some contents items while they are temporarily away from the office, but laptops and mobile phones are excluded from this. If you want them to be covered while they are out of your office, you would need portable equipment cover.
