What is hospo insurance?

Hospo insurance (the many types of business insurance designed for hospitality businesses) helps you handle the cost of different risks, like customer injuries, damaged stock, theft, and cyberattacks.

A customer slips and injuries themselves in your venue, a power outage cancels dinner service, the deep freeze breaks down… These are just a few of the many potential risks you might face.

That’s why most hospo businesses consider business insurance to help them manage unplanned costs that could serve up heaps of trouble.
