It is estimated that 40% of businesses in the UK are underinsured, which means that their business insurance won’t cover the total cost in the event a claim is made against their business. Part of the reason that businesses are underinsured is that they are not aware of some of the more specialist covers required, such as Heat Cover, Tools Cover, Contract Works or Professional Indemnity which may be required to cover your business activities.
