Cyber

Cyber-attacks are unfortunately more and more common and as vehicle technology develops, the need for Cyber Insurance is becoming much more significant in the motor trade industry.

Motor trade businesses are handling more data than ever before in terms of performing sales transactions, handling service and repairs. Therefore it is imperative to ensure that appropriate protection is in place.

We can boost your cover to include Cyber Insurance in your Motor Trade policy that will counteract the threats posed by hackers to your data, as well as protection for your business.

Legal Expenses

However carefully you run your business, chances are that you will need legal assistance at some point. A Legal Expenses policy covers you for legal advice and gives you access to dedicated helplines if needed. Plus, it covers you for any legal costs incurred in circumstances such as contract disputes, employment disputes, tax investigations and more.

Directors and Officers

Insurance policies are designed to meet the needs of your business, but the capacity of your role can mean you need further protection. This policy is not for the company but for you, if you are a key decision maker such as a member of a senior management team.

It covers you if you are found to be in breach of certain duties, helping to protect you from any claims made as a result of your decisions and actions.

It provides personal asset protection from any claims brought against you by:

  • Shareholders
  • Employees (Past and Present)
  • Customers
  • Creditors
  • Other Directors
  • Competitors
  • Suppliers

Liability

You can enhance a Road Risks policy to include Public Liability, Employers Liability and Professional Indemnity:

  • Public liability can cover you should a member of the public become injured on your premises.
  • Employers' Liability is a legal requirement and compulsory if you employ one or more member of staff, even if they only work part-time.
  • Professional Indemnity protects you in the instance that you find a claim has been made against you due to professional negligence.

Claims against you can be very costly and potentially devastating to your business. By ensuring you have the right cover in place, you are protecting your business from financial hardship.

Engineering Inspection Insurance

An explosion of pressurised equipment can cause considerable damage to your business but with the necessary protection in place, you will have peace of mind that if such an incident occurs, you will be financially covered.

All lifting and pressurising equipment is legally required to undergo regular maintenance and inspection checks.

This policy covers you for our insurer representatives to undertake the required inspections and provide recommendations and advisement, if needed.

Typical equipment that requires specialist engineering insurance:

  • Transporters
  • Under lifts
  • Vehicle Jacks
  • Forklift Trucks
  • Steam/Pressure Cleaners
