Business insurance, done properly.

One conversation with a broker who knows your trade. We’ll tell you what cover you need, and recommend the policy we’d put you on.

One
conversation.

You explain the business once, and we take it from there.

Bespoke service
for your business.

No two businesses are the same, so we start with yours rather than with a template.

We
recommend.

A named broker tells you which policy they’d put you on, and why, in writing.

What we cover

Cover options for your business.

We get to know your business first, then recommend the cover we think fits it, from our panel.

Public Liability

Injury or damage to others caused by your business.

Employers’ Liability

Required by law with staff — including casuals.

Property & Contents

The place — and everything in it you trade with.

Stock

Including fridge & freezer breakdown spoilage.

Business Interruption

The takings while you’re shut — not just the repairs.

Tools & Equipment

On site, in the workshop and in the van overnight.

Loss of Licence

If you pour, your licence is the business.

Cyber & Legal

Available as an addition to your policy.

All cover shown is subject to the policy terms, limits and excesses set by the insurer providing it. What applies to your business depends on the specific policy — we will confirm the detail, and set out the significant exclusions and excesses in writing, before you commit to anything.

Built around your sector.

Why Vara

Bespoke service for you & your business,
without the big-firm minimum.

Prepared.

We ask the questions your sector's insurers rate on, before we go to market.

Fast.

Our technology does the re-keying and form-filling, so you’re not waiting on paperwork.

Human.

A named broker with a direct line, who advises you and owns the recommendation.

You talk to a person. The machines do the typing.

Free commercial insurance cover and cost review.

Whatever you run, and whatever’s covering it now. Leave your details and we’ll call you straight back.

What the review covers

  • We go through the cover you have now, so you can see what it does and doesn’t do for your business.

  • We ask about your trade and your business, and tell you where we think the gaps are.

  • We put you in front of insurers on our panel who write your trade, and recommend the policy we’d put you on.

  • We explain the recommendation in writing, including what it doesn’t cover.

  • If it’s not a risk we can place, we’ll tell you straight away.

  • The decision to buy is always yours.
