Why you should consider Professional Indemnity Insurance
  • Having Professional Indemnity Insurance minimises the disruption to your business if a claim is made against you.
  • If you trade in foreign markets, the risks are even greater – so it’s important to have specialist protection that covers the right geographical and jurisdictional areas.
  • Some policies also cover the fees owed by a client who refuses to pay and threatens to counter-claim if you pursue payment.
  • Professional Indemnity Insurance is a great business enabler. As well as demonstrating professionalism to potential clients, it may be an essential requirement for regulatory or contractual compliance. Membership of an accreditation scheme will also typically require a minimum level of professional indemnity cover.
  • Keeping a professional indemnity policy running will protect you against any claims that are made after a contract has ended.

"The best of our alternative quotes were not only considerably cheaper than our existing broker, but were specifically tailored to the technology sector. Needless to say I would encourage others looking for excellent service and value to speak to Macbeth regarding all aspects of insurance, we are certainly pleased that we did"
