What is business equipment insurance?

Business Equipment Insurance protects the essential tools your business relies on against theft, fire, or damage during transit. Whether you’re working from a home office, a co-working space or on-site with a client, your gear is covered. This typically includes:

  • Professional tech: laptops, tablets and smartphones

  • Office contents: monitors, printers and furniture

  • Portable machinery: cameras, projectors and expensive electronic equipment

This cover is designed for UK professionals. Tradespeople looking to cover manual gear should typically look at tools insurance.

This policy excludes coverage for money, personal electronics, and business data or records, along with items primarily for personal use unless they are essential business equipment.

What does business equipment insurance cover?

Your business's needs determine the type of insurance you require. At Tide, you can add equipment insurance to your existing business insurance policy, safeguarding your professional tools against:

Fire

Covers damage caused by smoke, flames or heat. E.g. a faulty plug in your office sparks a small fire and damages desktop monitors.

Theft

Covers equipment stolen during a break-in at your workspace or vehicle. E.g. your professional phone is taken during an office burglary.

Damage in transit

Covers equipment damaged in a road traffic accident. Example: Your van is in a collision while traveling to a client, damaging the tech inside.
