Zurich's commercial business unit has launched a hair and beauty “all risks” insurance product.
The product provides a quick quote facility, has no proposal forms and premiums can be paid in monthly instalments.
Among the cover available is business interruption up to £400,000, accidental loss or damage to all glass and fixed sanitary ware and loss of metered water up to £2,500.
Personal accident cover, insuring salon owners and any named employees against bodily injuries that leave them unable to work, is also available as is employers' liability up to £10m and public and products liability up to £2m.
Roger Thrift, underwriting and marketing director, said: “Liability cover is one area that we think will become increasingly relevant to hair and beauty salon owners. People are now spending a great deal more on their hair. The average spend per salon visit in London is over £30 and a haircut is expected to cost around £54 in five years' time.”
In addition to the cover provided, a number of free helplines are also available, including an out-of-hours claims facility for emergencies, and a 24-hour glass replacement service.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
