Direct Line launches insurance for home businesses

Direct Line, one of the UK's leading insurers, has launched a new insurance product developed for people who run a business from home.

Cover includes product and public liability plus several add-on options, such as cover for theft or accidental damage to items such as laptops or mobile phones. There is also a free 24 hour advice line offering emergency assistance and legal advice.

The home business insurance policy is available via the umbrella brand 'Direct Line for Business' which is an addition to the suite of products launched last autumn. Other products being launched this spring include insurance for small offices, hotels and pubs.

Kate Syred, spokesperson for Direct Line for Business, commented: “Providing insurance for people that run their business from home is a natural extension to the existing Direct Line product range. Many people are unaware of their liability to their clients for the products and services they provide or the impact if the business is interrupted due to an incident in the home. Direct Line is already a leader in car and home insurance and now home businesses can take advantage of the benefits of being a Direct Line customer"

“Direct Line’s home business insurance is available to people direct. The product itself is flexible and represents good value for money whilst meeting the individuals’ needs.”
