REGULATORY REQUIREMENT: BF AFFILIATED CLUBS

BF Affiliated Clubs are required to provide additional information to be covered by BF’s Employers’ Liability policy.

In order to be covered by BF’s Employers’ Liability policy, it is a regulatory requirement for insurers to hold BF Affiliated Clubs Employer’s Reference Number (ERN) for any policy providing Employers’ Liability cover.

Clubs are required to complete this form to ensure this information is passed on to our insurers.

The ERN is a number given to every business that registers with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) as an employer, and is provided by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) under which the employees’ income tax and NI contributions are recorded.

It can be obtained from any mandatory HMRC documentation, including P45, P60, P11/D and most payslips. In all cases where PAYE is operated, an ERN is allocated to the employer and the ERN applies to all UK businesses employing one or more people.

If any entity insured does not have an ERN, a reason must be supplied to Insurers from the following:

• All employees earn below PAYE threshold
• Business registered outside England, Scotland, Wales or NI
• Organisation has no paid employees

Clubs are asked to complete the form below by 1st July 2025 .
