What is loss of licence insurance?
As part of a complete nightclub insurance structure, loss of licence insurance is designed to protect businesses that depend on a licence to trade, particularly licensed hospitality venues such as nightclubs, bars and live music venues.
Why it matters for nightclub operators
For many nightclub businesses, the premises licence is one of the most commercially important assets in the business. Loss of licence protection can form an important part of a broader nightlife insurance programme.
