What does business contents insurance cover?

Like home contents insurance, office contents insurance can cover the furniture in your office that is harder to remove — chairs, desks, storage, printers, projectors and screens — as well as portable equipment like your work phones, laptops and tablets.

Your important documents as well as money you have stored in the office are added as an extension when you take out a business contents insurance policy with us.

The policy covers damage, loss and forcible and violent theft.

Who is office contents insurance for?

Whether you’re a one-person band, a small business or an established operation, if you have office contents and equipment that you’d miss if it was no longer there, this could be the cover for you.

Our policies can cover the costs so that your business can get back to work without losing days of time and money.

What to watch out for in an office and equipment policy?

When purchasing your business equipment insurance policy, be aware that cover limits should be based on the replacement value of your contents, rather than the market value. Also, don’t forget to include any leased items in your totals.

If your business rents an office, check with your landlord before buying business contents cover, as you may find that you’re partially covered through their business insurance.
