All Risks

Cover that travels with your equipment instead of stopping at the door.

What All Risks covers

Your equipment doesn't stay put, so your cover shouldn't either. All Risks broadens Business Contents to protect your business equipment against accidental loss or damage wherever it is, on a client site, in transit, at a venue or abroad. If it's lost, stolen or damaged away from your premises, we put it right so the work carries on. It's the cover you want if you work off-site or across multiple locations.

Worldwide cover

Accidental loss or damage to specified items, anywhere.

In transit

On the move and at temporary locations.

New-for-old

Most items replaced new for old.

Hired-in equipment

Optional cover for equipment you hire in.

High-value items

Listed individually for full replacement value.

Reinstated cover

Restored after a claim for the rest of the year.

This is a summary of cover. See the FAQ for what's not covered.

All Risks in the real world

A few everyday situations where the cover steps in.

A photographer's camera is knocked off a table and smashed on a shoot.

Accidental damage to specified equipment is covered wherever you're working, so the gear is repaired or replaced and the next booking goes ahead.

A tradesperson's tools are stolen from their van after a break-in.

Theft following forced entry to the vehicle is covered, so the tools are replaced and you're back on the job, provided the van was properly secured.

A box of AV equipment is damaged in transit to an event.

Cover travels with your equipment in transit and at temporary venues, so a mishap on the way doesn't leave you short on site.

Built for businesses like yours

If your equipment leaves the premises for client sites, events, vehicles or other locations, All Risks covers it wherever the work takes you.

The words explained

A quick guide to the insurance terms on this page.

Cover for accidental loss or damage to your specified items wherever they are, not just at your premises. It responds to any sudden cause unless it's specifically excluded.
A piece of equipment listed individually on your policy with its own value, so a claim pays out for the right amount.
Where your cover applies: premises only, the UK, the EU, or worldwide. You choose the territory to match how and where you work.
Putting a damaged item right by repairing it, or replacing it with one of similar kind and quality, not better than new.
Insuring an item for less than its full value. If you do, a claim on that item is reduced in proportion, and each item is judged separately.
While your equipment is being moved between locations. All Risks covers it on the move, where Business Contents stops at the premises.

Questions, answered

Business Contents covers your equipment and stock at your premises. All Risks extends that to accidental loss or damage wherever your items are: off-site, in transit or away at a venue. Many businesses hold both.

Specified items can be covered worldwide, including in transit and at temporary locations overseas. If you travel with equipment, tell us where you work and we'll set the territory accordingly.

Higher-value items are usually specified individually so they're covered for the right amount, while lower-value equipment can often be covered as an unspecified total. We'll walk through it when you get a quote.

All Risks covers sudden, accidental loss or damage. A few things sit outside it:

  • Wear and tear or gradual deterioration.
  • Mechanical or electrical breakdown. Separate cover is available.
  • Theft from an unattended vehicle, unless someone forced their way in.
  • Damage to equipment left outdoors by wind, rain or flood.
