  • Employers’ Liability Insurance: A legal requirement if you employ staff, covering claims made by employees for work-related injuries or illnesses.

Professional indemnity insurance is crucial because it covers financial losses suffered by clients due to mistakes, errors, or negligence in your professional work. It protects your business’s reputation and covers legal fees and any compensation that may need to be paid.

Yes, public liability insurance is still important, even if you work from home. It covers claims arising from incidents involving clients or third parties visiting your home office or any other situations linked to your business activities.
