Business Interruption cover will be included as standard and a free advice line will provide stress counselling and legal advice 7 days a week twenty four hours a day.
The office and surgery insurance policy is available through the umbrella brand ‘Direct Line for Business’. This spring will also see the insurer launch other products, including cover which is targeted at home businesses, pubs, restaurants and small hotels .
Kate Syred, spokesperson for Direct Line for Business, commented: “Office and surgery owners often have to have expensive equipment. In addition, with such a litigious society, it’s also important to have an appropriate level of liability cover.”
