The Importance of Tradesman Insurance

The role tradespeople play in society is major. Whether you're a plumber, electrician, carpenter, or any other skilled professional, you’re doing vital work each and every day. Amidst the hustle, don’t let your business insurance take a backseat. Tradesman insurance is so important in keeping your business, yourself and those around you safe and secure.

Let's grab a brew and spend a few minutes exploring why trade insurance is critical to your line of work and how it's more than just a yearly 'tickbox'.

The Foundation of Protection

Every tradesperson understands the value of a solid foundation in their work. Just as a sturdy base supports a structure, tradesman insurance forms the foundation of a secure and thriving trade business. Imagine building a house without a proper foundation - it might stand for a while, but it won't withstand the test of time - especially with unforeseen challenges. Similarly, your trade business needs a robust insurance plan to weather the storms of unexpected events.

Rhino Trade Insurance recognises this need for a strong foundation and offers comprehensive coverage that goes beyond the basics. From Public Liability Insurance to tools and equipment coverage, we understand the unique risks tradespeople face and provide tailored solutions exclusively for you. Let's find out why each aspect of tradesman insurance is vital for the sustainability and growth of your business.

Public Liability Insurance: Protecting Against Accidents & Damage

Public Liability Insurance is the cornerstone of any tradesperson's insurance portfolio - it's the bedrock, as Fred Flintstone would say. Accidents happen, and in the trade industry, even a small oversight can lead to significant consequences. Whether it's property damage, injury to a third party, or legal claims, Public Liability Insurance provides a financial safety net, preventing a single incident from taking down your entire business.

If you are a skilled electrician, imagine working on a client's property and an accident results in damage to their home. Without the right level of Public Liability Insurance, you might find yourself facing a hefty bill for repairs, not to mention the potential legal consequences. Rhino Trade Insurance understands the importance of this coverage and ensures that our Public Liability Insurance is comprehensive, offering protection against a plethora of scenarios. You can easily get a quote from our team and decide on the right level of liability from £1 million to £5 million. 

Tools Coverage: Safeguarding Your Investment

For a tradesperson, tools are not just throw-away items - they are investments that form a basis for you doing your job. Unfortunately, tools are also susceptible to theft and damage. The cost of replacing specialised equipment can be financially crippling, especially for small businesses or individual tradespeople.

With Rhino Trade Insurance, we know only too well the sentimental and monetary value of your tools and designed outstanding coverage that goes beyond the standard. Our policy not only protects against theft and accidental damage but also covers your tools being left in your work van overnight, ensuring that your work doesn't come to a standstill even in the face of adversity! Adding tool cover to your policy is simple, and you can opt to protect your vital tools up to the value of £50,000! 

Contractors All Risks Insurance: Keeping Business Interruption To A Minimum

Contractors All Risks Insurance is essential for trade businesses as it provides comprehensive coverage against unforeseen events during a construction project, such as damage to property, theft, or accidents, with limits of indemnity covering builds with a value up to £250,000.

Rhino Trade Insurance understands the domino effect such interruptions can have on your business and offers comprehensive Contractors All Risks Coverage. This ensures that even when the unexpected occurs, you have the financial support needed to weather the storm and resume work without a significant setback.

Personal Accident Insurance: Keeping You Going

Trade work can be tough, meaning your physical well-being is key. Unlike traditional desk jobs, trades involve manual labour, and an injury or illness can have immediate and long-term consequences - especially when working for yourself. Personal Accident Insurance has been built to provide financial assistance in the event that you can't work due to injury or illness - what a saviour!

With Rhino's cover, your well-being is protected. Our policies offer financial support for medical expenses, rehabilitation, and even a lump sum payment to cover your expenses. This can be a whopping £50,000 tax-free. By focusing on your health and well-being, adding this cover to your policy ensures that you can focus on what you do best - your trade - without the added stress of financial commitments.
