Cover for client's offices and surgeries

Our dedicated Office and surgery product is suitable for small businesses with surgery and clerical trades, and provides cover to protect businesses against property damage, loss of revenue, and legal claims.

We've created a package product that includes all the core covers suitable for most office and surgery businesses. With a streamlined question set and simplified documentation, they’ll get the coverage they need without any hassle.

Offices that support manufacturing businesses or other manual trades should continue to use the Commercial combined or Contractors combined products instead.
