Insurers commonly ask for your business details, including the type of work you do, trading address, turnover, number of employees and estimated payroll. You may also need details of premises, equipment, stock, vehicles, contracts, health and safety measures, and any previous claims or insurance history. Having relevant documents such as lease agreements, asset lists, risk assessments and vehicle information available can help providers assess your needs, although requirements vary by insurer and policy. An FCA-authorised broker or insurer can confirm exactly what is needed for your circumstances.
