IT consultants insurance that is tailored to your industry

Your IT consultancy may need several different covers depending on the nature of your work and the size of your business. Simply Business gives you the chance to build a policy suited precisely to your needs.

Professional indemnity insurance is vital for all consultants. Your clients rely on you for advice and the services you provide. If this advice is faulty or you are found to be otherwise negligent, your client may suffer a financial loss for which you would be liable. Professional indemnity insurance can cover the cost of any resulting claims made against you.

Public liability insurance is important because it covers the cost if a claim is made against you because a person has been injured or their property damaged because of your business activities. Public liability claims can be financially crippling, and it is vital for the stability of your business that you are properly covered. Simply Business offers public liability insurance up to a value of £10 million.
