What is Franchisee Insurance?
Franchisee insurance is a pretty broad term. Put simply, it refers to arranging a range of individual cover components being pulled together to ensure all facets of your franchise business are protected.
Typically, franchisee insurance will include public and employers liability insurance. It may need to include professional indemnity, particularly if the franchise is service led and means that you’re offering advice to customers. Beyond that, it really does depend on your particular circumstances. If you run the business from an office, its likely that you’ll want cover for the premises, as well as your office contents.
