Business & Contractor Insurance Policies
Professional Indemnity
Insurance
Professional Indemnity (PI) insurance is a fundamental insurance for contractors, covering claims arising from errors and omissions in providing your services. It is almost always a contractual requirement for it to be in place with a recruitment agency, often with a minimum cover level of £1m.
Public Liability
Insurance
Public Liability (PL) Insurance is one of the main insurances required by contractors and covers the legal costs and compensation of a claim made by a client or a member of the public that has suffered injury or property damage as a result of work you’ve done or an accident you have caused.
Employers Liability
Insurance
Employers Liability (EL) Insurance provides cover for legal representation and compensation arising from claims made against your company in respect of bodily injury or damage to property suffered by employees. It can only be bought as an optional add-on to a Public Liability policy.
Contractor Legal
Protection
Every business needs to ensure that they are protected against the risk of having to defend or pursue a legal dispute with third parties, especially with ever-increasing legal fees for doing so. This policy affords you peace of mind that those legal fees are covered for a range of common disputes.
IR35
Insurance
Our IR35 Insurance protects you from the potentially devastating effects of an IR35 investigation carried out by HMRC. It provides cover for the professional representation fees incurred in defending the enquiry – something that can be costly and take years to bring to a conclusion.
Contractor Relevant
Life Cover
Contractor Relevant Life Cover (RLP) is a form of life insurance or death in service benefit. It is setup in a trust in the name of and paid for by the company, making it a tax efficient way of ensuring loved ones receive a financial lump sum should the worst happen.
Contractor
Income Protection
Unlike permanent employees contractors do not receive sick pay, so if they don’t work they don’t get paid. Contractor income protection replaces income lost through periods of incapacity due to an accident or illness, paying out a pre-agreed monthly amount that is an allowable expense and tax effecient.
