One policy, mixed contents

Storing a mix of personal and business items? Select Business/Commercial Possessions at quote stage and one policy covers both — no need for two separate products.

🔒

No excess

No excess on any claim, personal or commercial. Approved claims are paid in full.

Before you store commercial stock: for any commercial goods or stock, you must be able to provide proof of purchase — receipts for all items — in the event of a claim. Without purchase receipts, a claim for commercial items cannot be considered. Business stock is settled at current market value at the time of the claim. Read the full detail on proof of purchase and valuation.

Common questions about business storage insurance

Does cover4storage cover business stock and equipment?

Yes, when you select Business/Commercial Possessions at quote stage. This brings machinery, stock, tools, and plant into your policy, stored in a qualifying self-storage unit. If you are storing commercial goods or stock, you must be able to provide proof of purchase — receipts for all items — in the event of a claim. Read the full guide to business storage insurance.

Do I need separate business insurance for a storage unit?

No separate policy is needed — it's still one policy and one premium. You do need to select Business/Commercial Possessions when you get your quote so business and personal contents are both included. The key requirement for any commercial stock is that you can produce proof of purchase receipts for all items if you need to claim.

How is a claim settled for business stock?

For commercial goods or stock, the basis of settlement is the current market value at the time of the claim. You must provide purchase receipts for all commercial items claimed — without these, the claim cannot be considered.

Does this replace my general business insurance?

No. A cover4storage policy covers contents in your storage unit only. It does not replace general business insurance, employer's liability, public liability, or other commercial policies covering your premises or goods in transit.

How much does business storage insurance cost?

Policies start from £16.50 a year. The price depends on the total replacement value of what you're storing, personal and business combined. See a full price table by cover level.
