Building your business insurance policy

With Simply Business you can build a policy tailored to your individual needs. If you’re not sure which covers you should have, these will get you started:

Public liability insurance – this covers you if you cause injury to a person or damage to their property during the course of, or as a result of your work. The minimum level of cover is £2 million, but we offer up to £10 million for larger businesses and those working public contracts.

Professional indemnity insurance – covers compensation claims from clients who have suffered loss due to mistakes or negligence with your work, or if your work has failed to perform its intended function. Some insurers also cover legal expenses.

Additional covers for surveyors can be seen in the covers box to the right.
