These claims can result from accidents on your business premises, or from your products or services. ## Who typically needs it Businesses of all sizes and industries, including retail stores, restaurants, offices and businesses with offsite work or projects. It is often required by clients, landlords or lenders as a condition of doing business. ## Why it matters - **Financial protection:** without cover, an unexpected claim or lawsuit can threaten your business's assets and stability. - **Often required by contract:** many clients, landlords and lenders ask for proof of cover. - **Flexible:** policies can be tailored to your industry, operations and specific exposures. ## How Cover Buddies helps We help you compare options and set up the right policy for your business, so you deal with one team instead of several insurers. ## Common questions ### Is CGL the same as public liability? They overlap, but CGL is broader — it also covers personal and advertising injury claims alongside property damage and bodily injury. ### Is CGL required by law? Not by law, but it is often a condition set by clients, landlords or lenders. ### Can the policy be customised? Yes. Coverage limits and endorsements can be tailored to your industry and risks.
