The policies will typically bundle different insurance covers together and provide a cost effective means to protect your office. It's worth noting that in many instances removing certain covers will not reduce the premium.
At get indemnity™ we can compare office insurance quotes from a range of providers to meet your requirements. If you require protection for stock, or you undertake manual activities a commercial combined insurance policy would be better suited.
Do we require insurance in a shared working/office space?
If you work from a shared working space, the owner or operator of the building should have the necessary insurances in place. However, these may provide limited cover (if any) for your contents and personal possessions.
An office policy can offer cover for portable office equipment such as laptops and mobile phones. Which if you are frequently working away from your premises, can offer valuable protection from damage and theft.

Is office insurance suitable for working from home?
In the majority of cases there is no reason why an office policy cannot identify your home address and offer protection whist you work from home. Please speak with an insurance broker to discuss your needs.
Some insurers have started to offer specific working from home insurance policies. However, do not rely on potential cover offered under a home insurance policy because any association with a business could cause any claims to be denied.
