Delegated Commercial General Liability Insurance FAQs
-
A delegated authority relationship is formed when an insurer permits another party to act on their behalf, either in an underwriting or claims handling capacity.
-
Product innovation often happens through the use of delegated authorities. The coverholder can benefit from partnership with the insurer by gaining access to the insurer’s brand, security and ratings. Policyholders gain from wider competition and access to local and/or niche distributors and product providers.
-
It depends on your business needs. Commercial excess liability provides additional coverage for a specific policy, such as general liability or auto liability, extending the limits but not broadening coverage.
A commercial umbrella policy, on the other hand, extends coverage across multiple underlying policies and may even fill in coverage gaps.
-
General liability insurance provides fundamental coverage for bodily injury, property damage, and legal expenses resulting from third-party claims. Commercial umbrella insurance extends the limits of multiple liability policies, offering extra financial protection when primary coverage is exhausted.
-
The cost of delegated commercial general liability insurance varies greatly depending on your industry sector, business size, annual turnover, claims history, and the risks your business presents.
Low-risk businesses like offices will pay much less than higher-risk businesses like restaurants or construction companies. For a quote tailored to your business, get in touch with one of our specialist underwriters who can assess your specific needs.
-
Not all businesses in the UK are required by law to have delegated commercial general liability insurance but it’s highly recommended for most commercial businesses.
If your business interacts with customers, clients, or the public, owns or leases commercial premises or could potentially cause injury or property damage through your business then this cover is essential.
Many commercial leases, contracts and client agreements require proof of adequate liability insurance before you can trade. This cover protects your business assets and provides funds for legal defence if a claim is made against you, depending on the policy terms.
