Not all home insurance policies cover the contents of rooms that are used for home offices. And even if they do, they often don't have provisions for increased costs if you're unable to work at home, or for retrieving lost data. Hiscox Home Insurance includes home office cover as standard to protect you for both these possibilities.

Why choose our home office cover

  • Your home office furniture and equipment might not be covered under your home insurance policy
  • A loss of your power, phone or broadband supply might incur significant additional costs
  • Your accounting records could be lost or damaged meaning you might not be able to recoup all the amounts owed to you

How Hiscox Home Insurance cover can protect your home office

If you run a small clerical or administrative business from your home with no more than 2 employees this cover protects your home office against loss or damage, including:

  • Loss or damage to the furniture and office equipment of your home office business, up to £7,500
  • Increased costs of continuing work following accidental failure of utility services for more than 24 hours, or following physical loss or physical damage covered by your Home Insurance policy, up to £7,500
  • Costs of replacing or reconstituting your business documents, data and amounts owed which you're unable to recover following the physical loss or physical damage of your accounting records
  • Your liability arising out of revenue-generating activities

If the unfortunate happens and you suffer loss or damage in relation to your home office, simply call our award-winning claims team. If we can't settle your claim immediately, we'll assign a dedicated Claims Underwriter to your case who will handle your claim from start to finish.
