Satisfied Customers’ Real‑Life Experiences

Our clients' stories are the best testament to our service quality.

I have never seen an insurance broker who does their best to explain insurance purchases for customers and kindly help them. I moved all three insurances for my car, home, and office to PetleyHare a week ago, ...thanks again to Stuart Scott for saving me a lot of time and money.

Great rates and very good service. I have been with PetleyHare for several years now for auto insurance and about a year for home insurance. Their insurance rates are very competitive, and they are always a pleasure to talk to. I will have no hesitation in recommending them.

5 Stars Mubashir Rizvi

I dealt with Sarah Taylor, who was very professional and had a great overall personality. This was my first time going through a broker, and the experience was very positive... I highly recommend it. We all deserve to save what's in our wallets, and it would have been selfish of me not to share my experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about business insurance? You’re not alone!

What Factors Determine My Business Insurance Premium?

Your premium is influenced by your industry, business size, location, coverage limits, and claims history. Higher-risk industries, larger operations, and areas prone to crime or natural disasters may result in increased costs.

At PetleyHare Insurance Brokers, we help you strike the right balance between cost and coverage, ensuring your business is well protected at a competitive rate.

Do I Need Business Interruption Insurance?

Business interruption insurance is highly recommended for all businesses, regardless of size or industry. It provides crucial coverage that ensures your income stream continues even when your operations are temporarily disrupted due to covered events such as fire, flood, or other natural disasters.

Without it, your business could face financial hardships during recovery. It’s an investment in the stability and resilience of your business.

Is Cyber Liability Insurance Necessary for My Business?

Cyber liability insurance is a vital safeguard for businesses of all sizes and industries in today’s digital landscape. It protects your business from financial losses and legal consequences from data breaches, cyberattacks, or other digital threats.

With the increasing frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks, this coverage provides peace of mind and financial security.

What's the Difference Between General Liability and Professional Liability Insurance?

  • General Liability Insurance covers claims like injuries on your property or damage caused by your products.
  • Professional Liability Insurance (E&O) protects against mistakes or negligence in the services or advice you provide.
  • The right coverage depends on your business type. We’ll help you choose what fits best.

Can I Customize My Business Insurance to My Unique Needs?

Yes, we offer flexible coverage options so you can build a policy that fits your business operations, assets, and risks. You can choose protection for equipment, property, liability, cyber threats, and more. Our team will guide you through the process to make sure your insurance matches your specific needs and budget.

What is Business Insurance?

Business insurance is a type of coverage that protects businesses from potential losses due to unforeseen events such as property damage, legal liability, or employee-related risks. It helps ensure the financial stability of a business by covering costs associated with these risks.

Why Do I Need Business Insurance?

Business insurance is essential to protect your company from financial losses due to accidents, lawsuits, or natural disasters. It provides peace of mind by covering potential liabilities and ensuring business continuity in the face of unexpected events.

How Much Does Business Insurance Cost?

The cost of business insurance varies based on factors like the type of coverage, business size, industry, and location. On average, small businesses might pay between $500 to $3,000 annually, but it’s best to get a personalized quote for accurate pricing.

How Often Should I Review My Business Insurance Policy?

It’s a good idea to review your business insurance policy at least once a year or whenever there’s a significant change in your operations. This includes hiring more staff, purchasing new equipment, expanding services, or moving locations. Regular reviews help ensure your coverage still reflects your current risks and business needs. Our team can help you assess your policy and make any necessary updates to keep your business properly protected.

Can I Adjust My Coverage as My Business Grows?

Yes, business insurance policies are flexible and can be updated as your business grows. You can adjust your coverage when adding new locations, hiring staff, or purchasing specialized equipment. One of our experienced insurance brokers can help you review your risks and make sure your policy keeps up with your changing needs.

What Happens if I Don’t Have Enough Coverage?

If your coverage limits are too low, your business may face significant financial losses in the event of a claim. Without adequate insurance, you could be personally responsible for covering damages, legal fees, or medical expenses. Underinsuring your business can also hinder recovery after a major incident, delaying your ability to resume operations. It’s crucial to evaluate your coverage needs periodically and work with an expert to ensure your business is properly protected.

Are Home-Based Businesses Covered Under Standard Homeowners' Insurance?

No, most homeowners’ policies do not provide coverage for business-related losses. If you run a business from home, you may need a separate home-based business insurance policy to protect against property damage, liability claims, and potential business interruptions. This coverage ensures that your work equipment, inventory, and business-related liabilities are properly insured.

How Do I Know if I Need Product Liability Insurance?

If your business manufactures, distributes, or sells products, product liability insurance is essential. This coverage protects you against claims of injury or property damage caused by a defective product. Even if you have rigorous quality control measures, unexpected product failures, labelling errors, or design defects could lead to costly lawsuits. Having product liability insurance safeguards your business from financial and reputational damage.
