All about business liability insurance

If you accidentally make a mistake at work, it could result in a nasty claim for damages. Unfortunately, with private liability insurance (AVP) you are not insured for this. To still be insured, you can take out business liability insurance. With business liability insurance, you are insured for damages caused during the course of your work. For example, when you drop a cup of coffee over a customer's laptop. Or when a pot of paint falls across the beautiful wooden floor.

Business liability insurance coverage is similar to Individual Liability Insurance, but for your business.

What is the difference between business liability insurance and professional liability insurance?

Business liability insurance is often confused with professional liability insurance. Professional liability involves, for example, giving incorrect or incomplete information, or giving incorrect advice. If damage occurs as a result, you are not insured for this with business liability insurance. For this, you need professional liability insurance.

With professional liability insurance, you insure financial losses suffered by your client due to professional misconduct for which you are liable. Professional indemnity insurance is especially relevant for entrepreneurs who provide advice in their work, such as consultants, architects, IT consultants or engineers.

Is business liability insurance mandatory?

No, business liability insurance is not mandatory. Nevertheless, it is wise to look into such insurance. After all, an accident is in a small corner and it is not nice if you have to pay for the financial consequences of damage yourself. Moreover, more and more often suppliers or clients do not want to do business if someone is not insured. Many entrepreneurs therefore choose to take out liability insurance for their company anyway.

What is not covered with business liability insurance?

With business liability insurance, you are not insured for professional liability. For this you have to take out professional liability insurance. Items you have "under supervision" are not insured. Think for example of a kitchen or bathroom that you have to install. If damage occurs when you are responsible for it, it is not covered by business liability insurance. Always check the policy conditions to see if there are more situations where the insurer does not provide coverage. This can vary from one insurer to another.

Business liability insurance ZZP

As a ZZP it is also wise to take out liability insurance. With a liability insurance ZZP you are insured if you, as an entrepreneur, cause damage to another person or if your work causes injury to another person. Business liability insurance ZZP is a good way to cover yourself for liability damages. With liability insurance for ZZP'ers, costs resulting from the damage will be reimbursed by the insurer. You are also insured for damages caused by an intern or a temporary worker employed by you.
