B&B Insurance

Running a busy bed and breakfast can be hectic, with guests coming and going, cooking and housekeeping all being done throughout the day – there are several different risks to consider when running a B&B.

There are a few different insurance products which will be especially suited to bed and breakfast owners. Erskine Murray work with a carefully selected group of insurance partners to provide customised insurance solutions for businesses within the hotel and B&B sector. Being an independent broker allows us to source suitable insurance products at the prices which suit your needs and requirements.

Bed & Breakfast Insurance Quotes

Many B&B businesses will want to have a quote for public liability cover, which can protect your business should a compensation claim be made by a supplier, a guest or other member of the public. It is likely to be a good idea to get buildings insurance too, so you are covered in the event of a fire, flood or other damage to the property. Another useful insurance is for business interruption, which can be added on to your policy to ensure you do not lose your income should you need to close your business temporarily.

Insurance for B&B Owners

It is always important to consider the risks which your bed & breakfast faces, along with the level of cover you will need. Here are some examples of the types of insurance which many B&B owners choose:

• Public Liability Insurance: to protect against claims made by a member of the public for injury or damage to their property which your business is deemed responsible. An example of this could be if a guest slips over on a wet floor in your dining room.
• Employers’ Liability Insurance: this is a legal requirement for any business which employs staff. It covers you for claims made against you by an employee for illness or injury due to their work for you. If you do not have a suitable policy in place, you could face hefty fines!
• Business Buildings and Contents Insurance: This can help to protect your bed and breakfast if it sustains damage due to something like a flood, fire or break-in. You could add on business interruption insurance to this which can protect your income should you need to close your business for a while due to damage.
