The importance of security company insurance
From employee injuries to claims of negligence, there are various unique risks faced by security companies. Businesses in the security trade must be prepared for these potential liabilities. Accidents, equipment damage, legal disputes – just one of these cropping up can leave your business vulnerable to severe financial losses.
That's why specialist security company insurance is an essential asset. The right protection doesn't just help deal with significant costs when needed. It can also secure contracts with clients. While you provide security services for others, leave insurance to protect your staff, assets, and reputation.
Benefits of insurance for security companies
- Employers' liability insurance: Legal action can be costly. Insurance covers legal fees and compensation costs stemming from claims, helping your business avoid financial strain while retaining operational stability.
- Public liability insurance: Security staff face risks such as injuries on duty. Insurance not only helps cover aspects like lost wages and medical expenses, but it also ensures compliance with regulations.
- Professional indemnity insurance: Many clients require security firms to hold liability insurance. Having comprehensive cover in place demonstrates professionalism, which then builds trust and increases business opportunities.
- Business equipment insurance: Security companies rely on specialised tools. Insurance offers protection against their damage, theft, and loss, minimising disruptions to your security services.
- Efficacy cover: Also known as "failure to perform" insurance, it protects against legal liability if a product or service fails to work as intended and causes injury or damage.
Who can get security company insurance?
Whether a business employs licensed security personnel or supplies remote monitoring solutions, the right insurance is imperative. It safeguards against liability claims, property damage, equipment loss, and more.
