    Chubb Insurance have a competitive package for cafes, see http://www.chubbinsurance.co.uk/ and give them a call

    Phone/broadband - I hate them all, all I can advise is getting a 12 month contract only, although longer contracts save money if you have a shorter contract you can then switch if they get painful. To be honest I wish I'd just got a PAYG mobile and a "dongle" for broadband as the only calls you get are junk sales calls.

    For electricity use uswitchforbusiness.com as they act as a broker and will get you a better rate than going direct. One word of warning though, if you give them your number they'll never leave you alone!!!

    BTW my comment about getting a cheap PAYG mobile phone and dongle is 100% serious (unless you take credit cards or have red care). It will save you a fortune!
  • Thanks Paul you always give such good advice. Steve I forgot to put a / in lol x
