Many of us choose to take out contents insurance to cover the items within our own homes, and the work place should be no different. Accidents and damage can occur at any time, whether during work hours or when the property is vacant. This has never been more important than now, given the number of people working from home, leaving offices empty.
If someone broke into your premises, or there was a fire or burst water pipe for example, the cost to replace or repair damaged items could be significant. To give yourself peace of mind for any eventuality, it is always a good idea to take out Office & Contents Insurance.
The policy can be tailored to suit your individual needs and can include warehouse and industrial units. Whatever you deem important within your premises can be covered under an All Risk policy, as long as the items are listed in your business contents sum insured.
Anything that can be physically moved can be covered, including; telephones and furniture, computer equipment, such as monitors, printers and scanners, fixtures and fittings, such as carpets, lighting and blinds and even plant machinery, tools, materials and stock. You can also add cover for portable equipment, when items are taken out of the office and could be damaged during transit or at home, including smartphones, laptops and tablets.
The damage or loss to data or documents is also an aspect that can be added to a policy and cover includes the cost of replacing and re-instating these in the event something happens.
