Office Insurance
To insure your office, you’ll typically need coverage for contents, liability, and the mandatory Employees’ Compensation insurance.
If your company owns the premises, you can add Property All Risks (more comprehensive than Fire & Perils) to cover the building.
A standard policy often includes free coverage for:
- Loss of money (up to HKD30,000) from safes or during transit.
- Business Interruption (up to HKD500,000) for alternate rent in case of water damage.
Premiums are usually based on: - Office contents’ replacement value.
- Depreciated value of portable items (e.g., laptops, phones).
- Public Liability coverage (typically HKD5m–10m included).
- Staff salaries and job risks (e.g., clerical, managerial, outdoor roles).
At year-end, you’ll declare actual staff income to reconcile estimates, with potential refunds or additional charges. It’s advised to align your first policy with the tax year for easier salary declarations going forward.
