What is Motor Trade Combined Insurance?
Motor traders with larger businesses – usually those with business premises – will require additional insurance to road risks only cover, which simply protects the vehicles you use in connection with your job. Many motor trade businesses will make a considerable investment in the tools and equipment needed to do the job
In many cases, businesses also hold significant levels of stock. Trading from premises brings with it additional risks to consider such as damage to the buildings themselves. A combined policy protects against damage to property owned by the motor trader as well as their liability exposure.
At Radius Insurance Solutions, we offer comprehensive combined insurance policies designed all under one policy that can be tailored to suit you. We can provide cover for all your vehicles and business premises.
