Building your policy

• Professional indemnity insurance covers compensation claims made against you because you’ve given faulty advice or made a mistake in your work. For example, if you gave a business inadequate health and safety advice and they faced prosecution as a result, this insurance could cover the compensation payment and legal costs.
• Public liability insurance can also be important for environmental consultancies and health and safety businesses, as it’s useful for any business that comes into contact with members of the public. It covers compensation claims made by someone (a client, a supplier, a passerby etc) for injury or damage that’s caused by your business. For example if you visited a client's office and spilt coffee over their computer equipment, they could claim compensation for the damage.
• You can add other covers to your business insurance policy too, including business buildings insurance if you’ve got a premises, and employers’ liability - a legal requirement if you employ any staff.
