Hospitality Insurance Coverage First Step
The number 1 thing you need to remember to do before you talk to an insurance broker is obtain a copy of your lease. Look at your lease agreement and see what is required of you from them as a starting point and build from there.
Almost all Lease Agreements will have obligations they force upon the client which can include requirements around:
- Public Liability Limit of Indemnity
- Machinery Breakdown – Air Conditioning and Exhaust Fans
- Glass Cover – External and Internal
