Sign Manufacturers Insurance
Specialist cover for the Signs and Graphics industry
What is included on a SignElite Insurance policy from Real Insurance Group?
With years of experience supporting sign and graphics businesses, we’ve worked with hundreds of clients across the sector. That insight led us to create SignElite Insurance – our exclusive, specialist insurance scheme which is only available through Real Insurance Group.
Alongside essential cover for business contents, machinery, computers, and stock, SignElite is tailored to the unique needs of the sign industry. Just a few of the essential covers:
No height limit – We understand working at height is part of the job, whether that’s on ladders, scaffolding, platforms or even hanging off the side of buildings.
No exclusions for heat tools – Using heat guns and angle grinders on-site? No problem. These are standard tools in your line of work, and we’ve got you covered.
Cover in the event of damage to the property you’re working on – Protection for those ‘just in case’ moments during installations.
£5m Public Liability Insurance – Included as standard for peace of mind.
Up to 24 months Business Interruption cover – Helping you stay afloat if the unexpected happens.
Need something more specific? No problem. We can adapt your policy with optional extras like Professional Indemnity or cover for business vehicles. Read on to learn more.
What is Sign Manufacturers Insurance?
Running a sign business means wearing many hats – designing, cutting, installing, sourcing materials, managing deliveries, and more. It’s a fast-moving, varied industry. But what if your tools are stolen, or a sign causes injury or damage? That’s where sign manufacturers insurance steps in.
Our SignElite policy is a purpose-built insurance solution for sign makers and installers. It offers specialist protection that’s hard to find in a standard business policy.
Are You a Printer but Carry Out Sign Work? Here’s Why You Might Still Need Signage Cover…
If you’re a print company branching into signage, your existing printers insurance likely won’t go far enough. Most standard print policies are designed to cover printing activities only – not installations or external work.
So, if you’re erecting signage at client premises or working off-site with heat tools such as heat guns, ladders, or machinery, you’ll need additional cover. SignElite accounts for all of this, with robust protection for:
Working at height
Using heat tools on-site
Tools and machinery used away from your premises
Extended Business Interruption (up to 24 months)
£5m Public Liability
Cover for computers, stock, customers vehicles and more
Additional Insurance to Consider for Sign Manufacturers
Depending on the nature of your business, here are a couple of other policies worth thinking about:
Professional Indemnity Insurance for Sign Manufacturers
If you offer advice, conduct site surveys, or make recommendations on sign placement, you could be held liable for errors. Professional Indemnity Insurance protects you if you’re found to have been professionally negligent. It covers:
Breach of professional duty or negligence
Unintentional breach of client confidentiality
Unintentional copyright infringement
Note: While Public Liability & Product Liability covers damage to people or property, it doesn’t protect you from professional errors – that’s where this policy comes in.
Commercial Vehicle Insurance
If you operate company vehicles – whether vans or trucks – you’ll need Commercial Vehicle Insurance. Vehicles must be registered under your business, and we’ll need details like your no-claims history or past claims for an accurate quote.
You’ll also need to confirm how each driver uses the vehicle – some may only need business use, while others might need Social, Domestic & Pleasure (SDP) use too. For example, if a vehicle is used for commuting or personal trips, SDP must be included.
Tip: These policies are typically rated by the number of drivers, not vehicles. So if you have multiple vehicles, it could be more cost-effective than you think.
