Merchants Insurance
Merchants insurance is a sub-set of business insurance that has been specifically designed to meet the needs of modern builders and other merchants. A merchant is a person who trades in products and commodities produced by other people, with this term still widely used in the building industry. Standard business insurance covers a lot of territory, with bespoke merchants insurance able to merge individual insurance protections in a single, easy-to-manage contract.
Common coverage elements found in builders merchants insurance include products liability, public liability, employers liability, motor fleet cover, business contents, business tools and equipment, business interruption cover and many others. While combined business insurance coverage is always a good idea, it’s important to speak with an experienced insurance broker who can customise a policy to meet your specific needs. For example, we can extend public liability protection at the same time as limiting goods in transit cover to help you save money on premiums.
