Yes, you still need sandwich bar insurance even if you rent your space. The landlord’s insurance policy typically only covers the building structure and not your business operations.

Try to have your existing insurance schedule and renewal notice available as this will give us the majority of the information that we will need. However, if you are a new business, don’t worry – our business insurance advisors will be able to guide you through the process of understanding and identifying your insurance needs.

We will email your policy documentation to you which means you will receive these straight away. Alternatively, if you would prefer your documents to be posted, you will normally receive them within 5 working days.

You can pay annually using a credit/debit card or by making an electronic payment. Alternatively you can manage your payments through a monthly Direct Debit plan with our approved premium finance provider, Premium Credit Limited.
