Every business is unique, so when considering how much cover to buy we would always recommend that you consider the exposure that your business faces each day. Your exposure could, for example, be influenced by the type and size of contracts you are engaged in or the type and size of clients who you work for. Your client’s or professional body may impose minimum amounts of cover that they expect you to arrange.
We always recommend buying as much cover as you can afford. Premiums are often better value when more cover is purchased and the difference between say £500,000 cover and £1,000,000 cover may be a matter of a few pounds. You wouldn’t want to be underinsured in the event of a serious claim.
