Professional Indemnity Insurance
With more legal action being taken than ever before, professional indemnity insurance is essential for contractors, freelancers and the self-employed.
If you don't have professional indemnity insurance, your business, home and reputation could be at risk. There are many potential pitfalls for self employed people - missed deadlines, loss of client data, intellectual property infringements - that without the right protection you're taking a daily gamble. Everyone makes mistakes, but if you don't have professional indemnity insurance, a simple human error could end up costing you your livelihood.
If you freelance and don't already have professional indemnity insurance, you need a unique policy tailored to meet your needs. You don't want to pay for insurance you won't use, but you do want peace of mind that if a client makes a claim against you, your legal expenses will be covered - even if that claim is unfounded. You also want to protect your business reputation by choosing professional indemnity insurance that will pay compensation to clients if necessary. After all, client relationships are crucial to business success, so you need a policy that covers their loss as well as yours.
