What types of claims are most common in fast food businesses?

Fast food establishments commonly face public liability claims from customer slips, falls, and burns from hot food or equipment.

Property damage from cooking equipment fires and business interruption from equipment breakdowns are other typical claims we see in this sector.

+-

Can I get fast food insurance with criminal convictions?

Each application is assessed individually, and while some convictions may result in higher premiums, we work with specialist insurers who understand that past mistakes shouldn't prevent business protection. Full disclosure is required, and we'll provide honest advice about how convictions might affect your coverage options.

+-

Will adverse credit affect my ability to get fast food insurance?

Adverse credit history won't prevent you from getting fast food insurance, though it may influence your premium and payment terms. We work with insurers who provide coverage for businesses with credit issues, often with monthly payment options to help manage cash flow. Being transparent about credit concerns helps us find the most suitable coverage for your situation.

+-

Are there different payment options for those with credit concerns?

Yes, we offer various payment arrangements including monthly direct debit, quarterly payments, or annual payments. Some insurers may require annual payment upfront for applicants with significant credit concerns, but we'll find the most suitable payment option for your fast food business situation.

+-

How can I improve my chances of getting better rates despite credit issues?

Demonstrating strong business management through detailed financial records, implementing good security measures, maintaining a claims-free history, and showing evidence of proper food safety procedures can all help offset credit concerns when insurers assess your fast food business application.

+-

+-

What makes fast food insurance different from standard restaurant insurance?

Fast food operations face unique risks including higher customer volumes, extended trading hours, heavy reliance on specialized equipment like fryers and grills, delivery service risks, and often franchise requirements. Our fast food policies are specifically designed to address these operational challenges that standard restaurant insurance might not fully cover.

+-

What equipment is typically covered under fast food insurance?

Coverage typically includes all essential cooking equipment like fryers, grills, and ovens, refrigeration units, POS systems, furniture and fixtures, and food stock. Equipment breakdown cover can also be included to protect against mechanical failures of critical equipment that could shut down your operation.

+-

Do I need separate insurance for delivery services?

Delivery operations require additional coverage considerations including delivery driver liability, goods in transit protection, and coverage for delivery equipment. We can tailor your fast food policy to include comprehensive delivery coverage, whether you use your own drivers or third-party platforms like Uber Eats or Deliveroo.

How much does fast food insurance cost?<
