Bankruptcy and business insurance

page_e

I was bankrupt about 10 maybe 11 years ago. I was discharged fairly quickly just a matter of months.
Now I run my own business “dog grooming” from a parlour in my garden.
I need to get my parlour and Business insured. Do I have to tell The insurance I was bankrupt all those years ago?

Thank you for the advice

Hi,
If you are asked 'have you ever been bankrupt, then answer yes. Obviously if they ask ' have you been bankrupt in the last 3/6 years' then no. However I would still disclose it regardless, because if you ever need to make a claim, and they start digging, there may be a clause in your policy which could void the insurance.. Its always best to be open and honest with companies who would rather not pay out if it came to it.

As above, if you are asked have you EVER then yes of course it's a yes. However I wouldn't otherwise disclose it. I would instead read/search their terms and conditions for bankruptcy and insolvency and, if no mention, carry on.
