What is takeaways insurance?

Takeaways insurance is a specialist policy that protects takeaways from the risks of serving customers, managing premises and employing staff. It typically includes public liability, employers liability and buildings and contents cover.

Running a takeaway business involves risks from food safety and customer injuries to property damage and staff claims. The right insurance means a single incident will not shut your doors.
