What Is Public Liability Insurance?
Protect your business from the unexpected with flexible, straightforward liability insurance. Whether you're a sole trader, SME, or established company, Public and Employers’ Liability Insurance helps you stay covered against legal claims—so you can focus on running your business with confidence.
Public Liability Insurance protects your business if a third party—like a customer, supplier, or member of the public—is injured or has their property damaged because of your business activities. It covers legal fees, compensation claims, and medical costs.
This type of cover is especially important for anyone who interacts with the public—on-site, at your premises, or out in the field.

“Our business model is a little complex, but Crowthorne made it simple. I didn’t realise how exposed we were until speaking to them. Now I know we’ve got the right level of cover—and it didn’t cost the earth.”
“Crowthorne Insurance were very useful for when I needed 28 day chassis insurance on my unregistered classic Japanese import car in order to drive it to and from an MOT for its registration. Quick replies and no fuss. The price was high considering it was only for 28 days but I guess not unusual for that kind of specialist insurance. Would use again in the future!”

“Went there for my Car insurance. Got a great deal better than on line and other shops. Boss was a very nice chap and the man that served me Neil ,was very helpful.and sorted me out a great deal. Yes i can recommend this company. Hope i can say the same next year when i get the renew price. If they play there cards right they may get my house and other car and holiday insurance. Thanks Crowthorne insurance.”
Ray Thorpe
“I used Crowthorne Insurance recently as a new driver, and they really helped me out. They are always friendly and polite, never kept me waiting long over the phone or e-mail, and were always happy to answer any questions I had.I had a particularly good experience talking to Jack, who went above and beyond to get me a policy which wasn't prohibitively expensive at a time when the insurance market is particularly harsh to new drivers. It would not be an exaggeration to say that thanks to his efforts, I've saved thousands of pounds.I highly recommend this company and look forward to working with them again when it's time to renew. Thanks guys!”
