When purchasing insurance, you probably have three key questions:
- Why is it needed?
- Who to buy from?
- What will it cost?
So let’s answer these for you now.
First, why do you need insurance?
When you provide a service of any kind, even if you do so free of charge, with just family and friends, regard it as a hobby, or make only a small income from it, you need to have insurance to protect you against the possibility that someone will make a claim against you either because you did something wrong, or perhaps didn’t do something that you should have.
With the best will in the world, even the most honest and professional person can make a mistake – or worse, receive a false allegation that they have.
When this happens the consequences can be drastic: not only can it be very stressful and time-consuming, but legal costs can escalate fast and if the claim is successful, the compensation to be paid can cripple your business. And of course, if you’re a sole trader your business is you, in which case it will be your personal money or assets that will be at risk.
Having our combined professional indemnity, public liability and medical malpractice insurance provide you with total peace of mind – knowing that in the event of a claim, someone else will take up your battle. If it’s found that you (or one of your employees) did do something wrong, we will cover the legal and compensation costs – meaning you and your business are safe.
Consider this Case Study
One of our coaching clients carried out a perfectly successful coaching session with one of their customers who had come to their home office. On the way out, that customer tripped over a garden step, badly injuring themselves in the fall. A claim was successful, and the insurers paid out substantial compensation.
So perhaps the real question to ask yourself is why wouldn’t you want to be insured considering the time-consuming work, hassle, stress and legal costs involved in defending a claim?
