Working from home

Myself and many members of the team are now working from home – do we need to let insurance companies know and what cover do I have?

Insurers are committed to enabling you to continue working, and for some it does mean the need to work from home, be that you as the ‘business owner’ or your employees at their homes. Most Insurers have automatically extended your existing policy cover, at no cost, to provide the same level of protection you currently enjoy whilst you and your employees carry out your normal business activities at home. This extension applies to the following covers, where insured under your existing policy:

  • Business Equipment
  • Employers Liability
  • Public Liability

In addition, most insurers will provide cover for your business equipment whilst you travel to and from home, and at home. We ask that you and your employees take reasonable precautions to protect your assets and employees during this time. Your existing policy terms, conditions and exclusions remain unaltered and apply to cover at both your home and your employee’s home. If you have any more specific questions please speak to a member of the team.

Herewith some additional advice from our Health & Safety partners, Lighthouse:

The TL Dallas team ensures that ACS can secure credit insurance cover for new and existing customers, as well as giving the best advice on slow payers and claims. They have recently helped with an appeal regarding the payment of a claim, helping with cash flow. The pride they take in their work is truly inspiring going above and beyond. Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for ACS."

“Truly a job well done and really appreciate all the discussions on our behalf.”
“I have been most impressed by the customer service from TL Dallas when a problem was discovered in the bathroom of a property which I own, and which is rented out. They were very patient when personal issues caused a delay in a quote coming to them and again when there was a delay with the invoice. We also couldn't be more delighted with the swift payment of our claim by the claims handling team at Aviva.”
“Just a brief note to say how grateful I am for all your help sorting out the hotel policy this year. Over the years I have valued your cooperation in getting not only the most appropriate cover but at the best price.”
“I immediately recommended TL Dallas given the experience and the excellent service levels we have enjoyed at our company.”

"Whether you’re an established business, just starting out, publicly or privately owned, TL Dallas will take care of your every need, product, and price.”

“I just wanted to say once again how impressed I always am with your team – no matter who I speak to – and I think that’s very special. Your team are always excellent with their service and we always tell as many people as possible about you! I just wanted to pass this on, as you are clearly doing something very right and have been for a long time!”
“Thank you for your excellent service over the years.”
“Thank you so much for all your help and ongoing advice. It is so good to have someone advising us who is local and has so much understanding, not only of the business, but all the other influencing factors, as well and who totally understands what our business needs.”

“TL Dallas has offered us consistent, transparent, and clear advice over the years. A trusting partnership was established from day one and we feel assured that we have value for money alongside the cover we need, which in turn gives us peace of mind.”
James RycroftManaging Director, Vida Healthcare.
We have been dealing with TL Dallas for over 30 years and have always found them to be efficient. They have created insurance policies that are tailored to our needs, which has helped us evolve the company. Like every business, you only find out how good an insurance company is when you need to make a claim. This has been effortless when this has occurred and I strongly recommend TL Dallas for your insurance needs.
Peter DurkinManaging Director, Mini Gears (Stockport) Ltd
We are so grateful that you helped to resolve a situation that was causing us great concern. After being badly let down by our previous insurance provider, and after seven months of emails, phone calls and lost documents, we decided to try elsewhere. After only one week of contacting TL Dallas, we had our policy sorted and at a much lower price, which in this current economic climate makes a huge difference to us. Your professionalism and knowledge of the Social Care Sector is second to none and we are so pleased that we took the decision to move to TL Dallas. We will definitely be recommending TL Dallas to our colleagues within the care sector, and we look forward to a long and enduring working relationship as we move our business forward.
