You can’t overlook the risk of injury or disease to employees at your coffee shop – as a business owner you are legally required to ensure you’re covered.
Visitors to your venue and your employees working away from your coffee shop can also leave you exposed to claims from third parties. Our liability covers complement our property and management liability, to provide seamless cover.
Our public, products and employers’ liability extensions, written by established insurers, include:
You can add a range of optional cover to your coffee shop insurance policy, including:
All businesses rely on IT infrastructure in order to increase their efficiency and improve their productivity, meaning cyber and data security breaches can be so damaging – particularly for a customer-facing business such as your coffee shop.
Cyber and data cover can be included in your coffee shop insurance, especially to protect you against hacking of customer payment card information you process.
When disaster strikes, a quick effective response can be vital to keep your coffee shop in business. Large losses can be complex and need assistance from experts.
In the event of a loss your insurers will instruct a loss adjuster; but this individual will work on behalf of and represent the best interests of the insurer. However, business protection with our coffee shop insurance covers the costs of an independent loss adjuster to help with the preparation, negotiation and settlement of your material damage and business interruption claims. This helps ensure that the entire process is handled quickly, fairly and without unnecessary stress.
Our Towergate Assist business protection service is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and gives you telephone advice and assistance for all claims, plus a personal visit on all major losses likely to exceed your policy excess or £5,000 (whichever is the greater).
This cover protects the personal wealth of you, the director and any other management staff from the legal costs and awards in defending against civil, criminal and regulatory claims or investigations.
Employment practices liability covers both you, the directors and the business from claims from potential, current and former employees alleging breach of contract/employment law.
Corporate legal liability protects against claims made against both the directors and officers and your coffee shop business itself. This cover protects the legal entity (business) from defence costs incurred relating to civil, regulatory claim or investigation.
Your coffee shop company’s assets/funds will not be able to help you defend claims made against you and it is very unlikely that your standard commercial insurance policy will have any protection for you either. The ramifications for you, your family and subsequently the business could be catastrophic.
Possible outcomes of not being able to defend a claim include:
We can also provide insurance for tea rooms.
Coronavirus (Covid-19) – Update for Towergate customers
During the COVID-19 Coronavirus crisis, we want to reassure our customers and partners that we are following UK Government guidance,
and as a result our national offices are closed to both safeguard the health of our employees and our ability to look after our valued clients.
Where possible, our employees are working from home and we are still fully able to support with renewals, new cover requirements and
claims guidance and support. This includes giving our colleagues the ability to work from home or alternative locations,
which we hope will limit the disruption and enable you to speak to us for advice and support should you need it.
