Insurance for investigators

Business insurance for investigation consultants

If you're in the investigation business, you need back-up in case something goes wrong. We offer policies that include both professional indemnity insurance and public liability insurance, so you're covered if a member of the public blames you for injury or damage, or if a client makes a claim against you because you've made a mistake in your work. Get a single policy with all the cover you need from Simply Business.

Building your policy

For most businesses in the investigation industry, public liability insurance is an important cover. It protects you if a member of the public makes a claim against you for injury or damage. For example if you spilt your coffee over a client's laptop during a meeting your client could sue you for the cost of replacing the equipment. Your public liability insurance could pay the legal fees and compensation costs, up to the limit of your policy.

Another important cover is professional indemnity insurance. This can pay compensation claims if your client sues you because they believe you've made a mistake in your work that's lost them money. It's therefore important for any business that gives advice or offers a professional service. You can buy professional indemnity insurance as a stand-alone cover or as part of a combined policy with other covers. At Simply Business we offer between £50,000 and £5 million in professional indemnity cover.

There are many other covers you can choose to add to your policy, including business buildings insurance, employers’ liability insurance and business equipment insurance.
