How does insurance for software consultants work?
Giving you the right cover you need, at the right price
As a software consultant your role will differ from that of a software developer – you’ll be hired by clients to provide software recommendations, execute program modifications, and develop unique solutions to business requirements through software applications. As you will be giving advice and recommendations to your clients the need for insurance cover and more specifically professional indemnity cover is crucial for you in your profession. Consider how your business would fair if a client were to launch a claim, insisting the advice you gave led to their business suffering financially. Insurance for software consultants is designed to add a layer of protection to software consultants giving them all the necessary cover they need including Public Liability insurance, Employers Liability insurance and Professional Indemnity insurance.
Through The Insurance Octopus, you will be able to put together a bespoke policy that will suit the exact needs of you and your business – ensuring you’re fully protected.
What a Software Consultants insurance policy includes
Professional Indemnity insurance for software consultants

PI insurance will protect you and/or your business against any financial or trading loss that may be caused. Professional Indemnity cover limits are available from £50,000 to £10m.
Employers’ Liability insurance cover
Employers Liability insurance cover is required by law if you have one or more employees. Standard Employers Liability cover is £10m and will protect you as the employer against claims from your staff should they be injured or become ill because of the work they do for you.
Public Liability cover
Public Liability cover protects you if a customers or a member of the public is injured, or their property is damaged. Public Liability insurance protects you against the cost of repairs or any legal proceedings that could be filed against you. Standard levels of cover are available from £1m to £5m, with additional levels of cover available upon request and subject to insurer’s terms and conditions.
Legal expenses cover
Legal Expenses cover is there to protect you and your business against the costs you might incur if you were forced to defend a legal claim.
Associated Claims
Associated Claims Costs can cover you if a claim needs to be investigated further or there is a need bring in expert witnesses in a court hearing. Additional costs associated with a claim that you would not normally have to pay are covered.
Business interruption, personal accident and other optional covers
Business interruption, personal accident, off shore working and more are all additional add-ons that can be increased or decreased as required. By having flexibility with your professional indemnity business insurance policy from The Insurance Octopus, you can make sure your insurance is just what you will need.
Why you need Software Consultants insurance
If your business provides a professional service or gives some form of advice on a consultancy then your clients have an expectation of receiving expert guidance and a good service. If this service is not given, the customer could then make a legal claim.
As a software consultant, you will be giving strategic guidance on a variety of software projects, and the potential cost to your business if a claim is made can be high. As well as any resulting legal expenses there could also be compensation costs to pay if a claim against you is successful, both of which could be detrimental to your business.
