Insurance Solutions for Hospitality Businesses
Public Liability Insurance
Public liability insurance can help financially cover a hospitality business if a third party (often a customer) claims they have suffered a serious injury or their property has been damaged due to the alleged businesses activities. Even if the business is not at fault, public liability insurance can help cover potential legal costs that arise from defending a negligent conduct allegation.
Property Insurance
Property insurance helps cover the physical loss or damage to business assets (e.g. building, contents and stock) at premises from specified unforeseen occurrences, such as fire and storm damage.
Money Cover
This form of insurance is designed to cover business's money whilst on their premise during and outside of business hours.
Commercial Vehicle Insurance
There are three main cover options available through commercial motor vehicle insurance including comprehensive, third party fire & theft or third party.
Personal Accident Insurance
Personal accident insurance, also known as personal injury insurance, is designed to provide financial compensation if the insured person suffers a serious injury or death as the result of an accident. It can cover against loss of income and based on the insurance policy purchased, can also provide financial cover for bills and other expenses.
Machinery Breakdown Insurance
Machinery, such as commercial coffee machines or dishwashers, can be critical to a hospitality business’ day-to-day operations. With a key piece of machinery out of action, business owners can run the risk of substantial loss of revenue until such item is fixed. Machinery breakdown insurance can help cover any sudden or unforeseen breakdowns of business equipment that is on premise.
Business Interruption Insurance
Business interruption insurance can help hospitality businesses recover and get back on track after an unexpected significant property loss, including temporary shutdown from serious fire or storms.
Management Liability Insurance
Management liability insurance is designed to help protect managers of a business against claims arising from alleged wrongful acts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is Hospitality Insurance?
The cost of hospitality insurance can vary from business to business and risk to risk. There are a number of factors that can impact the premium of an individual policy, including:
- Size and turnover
- Geographical location
- Claims history
- Services and goods sold
Different insurers may also have different pricing structures. Insurance providers can base a policy’s premium on the risks they take on and having a high number of exclusions can reduce these risks, which may result in a lower premium. We strongly recommended reviewing the policy wording or product disclosure statement beforehand to help make sure the cover you are arranging meets the specific risk requirements of your business.
Do Marsh offer monthly payment options for Hospitality Insurance?
Yes, we can organise monthly instalments** with a finance company provided you meet their certain criteria. To request monthly payments, please reach out to your dedicated Marsh insurance broker or click here to fill out our contact form, and of one our team members will get back to you shortly.

How often should I review my Hospitality Insurance policy?
The answer to this question is largely dependent on how frequently changes occur to your business. Whether it’s business growth, change at an industry level, or expanding out your services, there are several changes that should trigger an insurance renewal or review.
As a rule of thumb, we recommend reviewing your policy on at least an annual basis to ensure your business is covered appropriately for its risk exposures and risk appetite, but more frequently if anything changes.
