Specialist Sports Business InsuranceSpecialist Insurance for Sports Businesses
We insure many sports businesses every year. We’ll consider any business that has an involvement with sport or leisure including multi-sports coaches.
With Public Liability, Professional Indemnity and many more extras available within Protectivity’s Sports Business Insurance, you can be confident in the knowledge that your business would be protected should a third party claim be made against it.
Sports Business Insurance is designed for entities that employ members of staff, therefore Employers’ Liability is a key part of the policies we are able to offer.
If you are a sole trader and do not employ any members of staff, perhaps acting as a self-employed sports coach, our Sports Coaching Insurance policy is designed for you. You can get an instant quote and cover by visiting our Sports Coaching page.

What Insurance Do Sports Businesses Need?
If you are operating a sports business there are a number of things that you should get cover for as a priority.
Public Liability
This will cover any costs that are incurred if the business was blamed for injury to a member of the public or for damage to their property. If that third-party decided to sue the business, your insurance would take care of the legal costs.
Equipment Cover
As a sports business it’s likely that you will be using a variety of different things, such as balls, rackets, cones and goals. By adding equipment cover to your policy you ensure that your tools of the trade are protected against loss, damage or theft.
Professional Indemnity
Like Public Liability, having Professional Indemnity covers you if the business is blamed for property damage or injury, but it covers professional advice given by the business or it’s staff.
Employers' Liability
If you employ members of staff, it is a legal requirement to obtain Employers’ Liability. This covers the business should a member of staff blame it for injury or property damage.
