The Business Insurance Bureau

Now this is not the booze talking...

Our pub insurance will be music to your ears, unlike Mick's 'singing' last Friday night.

Yes, we’re LIVE down at The Duck & Dive!

Coffee mornings, functions, mid-week football, ‘When does the tune start’ Jazz afternoons…there’s no such thing as a ‘community boozer’ anymore. 

Once upon a time, going down The Duck & Dive meant a pint of ‘Old Todger’, a read at the paper and a packet of crisps. But that’s all hazy history, along with the smell of cigarette smoke that clung to your clothes after a night out.

 

These days, there’s no such thing as a ‘community boozer’ – running a pub like The Duck & Dive makes the publican a master of ceremonies, with everything from rhubarb gin tastings to ‘When does the tune start?’ Jazz, Saturday lunch time.  

 

It’s a coffee shop in the morning, has an all-day food offering, day time functions, after work promotions, football mid-week, venue at the weekend. It’s endless…

It’s hard enough to keep the punters entertained without the never-ending list of ever rising overheads.​

  • The rising living wage
  • Staff pensions
  • Brexit staff shortages
  • Food & drink price increases
  • Business rates
  • Huge insurance premiums for entertainment

Pouring pints and collecting money has turned into a complex array of food, drink and entertainment compliance, licencing and insurance headaches.

Non-cleaned kitchen ducts are a HUGE fire risk, untested electrics heat, smoulder and burn, people slip and trip, doormen needed every weekend, gas safety, glass breakages…

There’s more to think about, lots of regulations to comply with.

There are four GREAT, INDISPUTABLY UGLY TRUTHS about business insurance

We can help ease some of your biggest headaches! But before we do, let’s see how the four ugly truths about business insurance add to that list….

1.   Insurance companies dispute 50%*of all large claims from businesses.

2.  They do this for two reasons:

     a. breach of policy conditions (which you’ve never read or remembered)

     b. inadequate information disclosure (like if you forgot to tell them about the live entertainment)

3.   It takes on average three years to resolve a large disputed insurance claimǂ (if you can resolve it). Meanwhile, without cash flow, your business goes into administration.

4.  This is why 43%* of all businesses experiencing a disaster never recover – not because they have experienced a disaster, but because their insurance is a disaster!

So, what’s the answer?
