Trade & business insurance questions we're asked

Do I legally need employers liability insurance?
If you employ anyone in the UK, employers liability is generally a legal requirement, with limited exceptions for some family businesses.
Can trade cover sit alongside my van policy?
Yes, and it usually should. Keeping both with one broker means one renewal conversation and no gaps between the policies.
