No two businesses are the same and there is
no single amount of cover that suits all. Nobody knows your business and the
exposure it faces better than you. Our advice would
always to buy as much cover as you can reasonably afford.
Professional Indemnity - A Beginner’s Guide
Often, your client will set a minimum limit
of the indemnity they require. This can depend on the specific nature of the
services you’ve been contracted to provide, or they
could have a set limit for all their service providers. For example, many UK
government departments will require their contractors
and consultants to have at least £5 million of cover.
It’s also worth considering taking our
retroactive cover for work that you’ve already completed before the policy
commences.
By doing this, you will have all bases
covered. You will be asked whether you want retroactive cover when getting a
quote on our website.
