Then you check it all before anyone signs.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor business insurance in the UK, the Insurance Act 2015 says the buyer must make \"a fair presentation of the risk\" to the insurer. That duty is yours, and it covers material facts even where the form doesn't ask. The NCSC notes that gathering the information can take input from several people, including your IT provider.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReadiness only.\u003c\/strong\u003e Secordit Intelligence isn't an insurer or a broker. This kit can't tell you whether you'll be offered cover or on what terms. That's the insurer's decision, and your broker or insurer can answer questions about your policy. It's a set of templates.

Cover bought mainly for personal purposes follows the consumer rules instead.
