What is run-off liability?

Run-off liability provides continued cover for claims made against you or your business after your business has closed, been sold, or you’ve retired. It can help cover legal fees or compensation you may need to pay.

Usually, run-off liability is not automatically included in your policy and needs to be requested. If personal injury or property damage occurs after your policy is cancelled, you won’t have cover unless you took up run-off liability.

Depending on what you use for your home business, some contents may not be covered under our Building and Contents policies. For example, sometimes a Home Contents or a combined Home Building and Contents Insurance policy may be a suitable option for insuring home office equipment that you use to run your business from home. However, this won’t cover stock used by your business.

Keep in mind, under a Home Contents or combined Home Building and Contents policy, legal liability for your business will not be covered, unless the business involves renting your home for domestic use.
