What is Business Insurance?
Business insurance is a type of coverage that protects UK businesses from potential losses. It helps mitigate the risks associated with running a business, including compensation claims, legal fees, and other unforeseen expenses. Sometimes referred to as commercial insurance, it provides essential protection for companies of all sizes.
At Weir Insurance, we offer a variety of business insurance options designed to meet the needs of small businesses, limited companies, and sole traders.
