Cafe insurance is protection that is structured to ensure your financial security as a business owner and to protect your employees and customers if an injury occurs on your premises.

As well as this insurance, you could implement protection such as public liability, property liability, employee insurance and stock and inventory insurance.

Employers’ liability and public liability insurance – Employers’ liability cover should be one of the first things you consider as it is a legal requirement in the UK.
