Business Insurance

A business takes years to build – but an accident or disaster could destroy it all in minutes. That’s why businesses should help protect themselves with a quality business insurance pack.

With the right cover in place, owners can run their business with confidence, knowing that their premises, stock, equipment and reputation are protected by insurance.

At DKG Insurance Brokers, we understand that the needs of each customer are different, therefore we will take the time to assess your individual risk requirements and deliver a bespoke solution. Please reach out to one of our experienced brokers today.

Exclusions to public liability, property and business insurance for communicable diseases such as COVID-19 were in place prior to the outbreak of the pandemic, however, some policies failed to reference the relevant legislation, creating ambiguity around the scope of the exclusion. Insurers have now rectified the perceived error of citing the Quarantine Act 1908 rather than the Biosecurity Act 2015 and, in some cases, expanded to make the communicable disease exclusion broader.
