You will be aware that running your own business brings new challenges and responsibilities. Here at Orange Genie Accountancy, we want to ensure that all aspects of your business run as smoothly as possible and recommend that you carefully consider insurance matters.
If you are setting up a limited company you will need to consider the following;
Professional Indemnity covers your business if claims are made against you as a result of allegations of professional negligence. This can happen if one of your clients alleges that you’ve made a mistake or given bad advice during the course of your work (like giving incorrect designs, for example, or loss of documents, or loss of data, or defamation, or libel).
What is covered?
Public Liability covers any compensation payout for any injury or damage caused by you or a product that you have sold or manufactured.
If you or your business accidentally cause an injury to any person or cause damage to any property then compensation may be warranted. Public Liability insurance will provide cover for damage to third party property or injury to third party persons, as well as covering any legal fees that may arise as a consequence of any claims you have to defend.
What is covered?
Employers Liability protects you against the cost of compensation claims arising from employee illness or injury, sustained as a result of their work for you.
Many contracting agencies will require you to have employers’ liability insurance, even if your only employee is yourself. Employers’ liability cover is a legal requirement for any business that has its own employees, in case they suffer any illness or injury.
What is covered?
Directors' and officers' liability insurance provides cover for your legal defense costs, will pay any subsequent fine, and will protect your financial assets.
Directors’ and officers’ liability insurance is a broad-brush policy that covers you for the many reasons you might come under fire and be held liable as a director. If your business is accused of financial mismanagement, a legislative breach, a health and safety failure, or of breaching company law, then directors’ and officers’ liability will step in.
What is covered?
Occupational Personal Accident cover is an insurance that covers you if you are injured at work, or going to and from work, in both the UK and abroad.
