In an ever-growing digital world, internet trading businesses are rapidly increasing.

What Your Internet Traders Insurance Policy Includes
Public & Product Liability
Product Liability is not a compulsory class of insurance, although legislation says that the Consumer Protection Act 1987 and the EC Directive on Product Liability (25/7/85) requires those manufacturing and supplying goods to carry some form of product liability insurance. No need to worry, as we can find Internet Trading insurance policies that include Public Liability & Product Liability cover as an integral part.
Legal Expenses cover for internet traders
This cover protects your business if a claim is made against you and you need to pursue or defend your claim.
Goods in Transit
Should your internet business deliver goods to your customers, Goods in Transit insurance will cover these goods as they are being delivered.
Business Money
If you hold money from your business at your personal home this policy will provide protection for this whereas your standard home insurance is unlikely to do so.
Stock Damage
Stock Damage cover protects the contents of your premises, which are insured against loss or damage caused by risks normally associated with your trade. This cover also provides protection for automatic increase in stock levels due to seasonal demands such as Christmas.
Employers Liability cover
Employers Liability cover for up to 5 employees.
Benefits of Having Internet Traders Insurance
Running an online business from home can be both enjoyable and challenging, and you may assume your home insurance will provide the right cover. However, your stock and liability covers are unlikely to be insured, which is why it is important to have a comprehensive tailored internet traders business insurance policy for financial security.
