Frequently asked questions

The cost of hospitality insurance can vary from business to business and risk to risk. A number of factors can impact the premium of an individual policy, including:

  • Size and turnover

  • Geographical location and building type

  • Claims history

  • Services and goods sold.

We strongly recommend reviewing the policy wording or product disclosure statement beforehand to make sure the cover you are arranging meets the specific risk requirements of your business.

Yes. We can arrange monthly instalments* with a finance company, provided you meet certain criteria. 

To request monthly payments, please talk to one of our dedicated Marsh insurance brokers.

The answer depends on how often your business changes.

As a rule of thumb, we recommend you review your policy at least once a year. This will ensure your business’s current risk exposures are covered.

But major changes – like business growth, greater work complexity or expanded services – should always prompt an insurance review.

Some insurers need to know about certain changes in accordance with your duty of disclosure. If your business has changed recently, contact the Marsh team to update your policy.
