FAQs

A franchisee insurance programme is a comprehensive solution that delivers the insurance coverage required by franchisors to its franchisees through an easily accessible servicing model. Both coverage and servicing are tailored to the unique needs of the specific franchise business.

As programmes are tailored for each franchise operation, they ensure franchisees have access to high-quality, cost-effective coverage that meets the requirements outlined in the franchise agreement. These programmes help manage compliance with insurance requirements and simplify the insurance administration process for both franchisors and franchisees.  Additionally, they help to bring stability to the franchisees by offering cost-effective coverage in changing markets.

Programmes can be delivered via a bespoke scheme, group policy, open market, niche market or panel of insurers. The selection of products will vary based on the nature of the business, the required coverages, and the complexity of the franchise business.

As programmes are tailored for each franchise operation, insurance products will vary and would include those coverages required in the franchise agreement, as well as other coverage that might be required by the franchisee to operate the business. Examples of coverages include:

  • Employers liability insurance
  • Public liability insurance
  • Professional indemnity insurance
  • Business interruption insurance
  • Directors and officers insurance
  • Cyber insurance
  • Fleet insurance
  • Property insurance
  • Commercial combined insurance
