Our business insurance offers protection for legal fees in case a client makes a claim against you for financial losses due to negligence in your work.

Working for yourself as a contractor or freelancer can have huge benefits, but it can be stressful and carries an element of risk, which can be mitigated through freelance indemnity insurance and liabilities cover.

As a freelancer, you’re responsible for the projects you deliver for your clients. If something goes wrong that causes your client to lose money, then you could be held accountable for the extra costs. That’s when Caunce O’Hara’s freelance professional indemnity insurance can help.

An insurance safety net for freelancers, contractors and consultants

Our comprehensive freelance business insurance enables you get on with your job, giving you the peace of mind of knowing that you’re protected, whatever happens.

Whether it’s a threat of a lawsuit from a disgruntled client, or a claim made for an alleged error made whilst undertaking a job, even if you’ believe you have done nothing wrong, the cost of defending yourself in court against a claim can be expensive.

Choose from our wide-ranging business insurance options to find the right level of cover to suit your budget and ensure you are protected.

Contractor insurance

As a contractor you may organise your insurance via an intermediary (such as a recruitment agency), but this may not absolve you from a claim made by a client. Therefore, it is important that you carry insurance that is specific to contractors to protect yourself and your business reputation in case a claim is made against you.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are a range of expenses that self-employed professionals can claim through their own businesses. Your business insurance is a tax deductable expense and should be viewed as a vital part of your business set-up as an investment in the success of your business rather than being viewed as a cost.

Please note there are changes to the way self-employed tax and expenses are submitted in the form of Making Tax Digital (MTD), which as a self-employed professional you should be aware of.

Caunce O’Hara Freelance Professional Indemnity insurance starts from as little as £8.16 per month, which we think represents great value considering the amount of cover and peace of mind that you benefit from.
