Your business covered
Our flexible policies let you choose the right level of cover for your business. And if you’re not sure, just give our knowledgeable insurance experts a call and we’ll help you choose. Our cover includes:
-
Professional indemnity insurance
Probably the most important cover a freelancer needs, insuring you for claims if you’re sued for a mistake that happened as a result of your work, or if a dissatisfied customer files a negligence claim against you. Choose from nine limits of cover from £50,000 to £5m.
-
Business combined insurance
Great value, complete cover for your business in one simple bundle. Includes:
- Public liability insurance for £1 million, with the option to increase to £5m, if you have to visit client premises or they visit yours.
- Employers’ liability insurance for £10 million, covering you for claims from employees for injury or illness during their employment. This is legally required for most companies, and is compulsory for many contracts.
- Office contents insurance up to £10,000 to protect your office contents, computer equipment and furniture against accidental damage and theft, with optional insurance for portable equipment.
- Directors’ and officers’ liability insurance from £250,000 in case you’re held personally responsible in claims against your business by creditors, employees, customers or regulatory bodies like HMRC.
-
Tax enquiry and legal expenses insurance
Protects your business against the costs of legal action taken against you, including contract disputes, debt recovery, tax, VAT and HMRC investigations.
-
Personal accident and sickness insurance
24-hour protection (not just while you’re at work) against personal accidents or sickness, to make sure you can keep paying the bills.
