What may be included in a Self-Employed insurance policy?
Business Equipment Insurance
If you use laptops, computers, mobile phones or other key equipment as part of your business processes, it’s worth checking out if they’re covered under home contents cover, or if you need a Business Equipment policy.
Professional Indemnity Insurance
From providing ineffective or damaging guidance, through to a service that causes harm, this policy will pay out compensation should claims be made against you.
Public Liability Insurance
If clients visit your workplace, or if you visit their premises, this cover protects you should someone be injured in either locations, or have their property damaged.
Employers Liability Insurance
A legal requirement should you hire freelancers, or full and part-time employees, this protects them should they get hurt or have damage done to their belongings.

You need the right cover in place to ensure you can continue to earn your living with a certain degree of peace of mind. We’ll find policies to protect the stuff you need to work, such as your computer, and if necessary arrange additional covers dependent on your specific needs.
