What insurance do engineering consultants need?

Professional indemnity insurance is a vital consideration for all businesses that give advice or offer professional services to other businesses. It covers you in the event that you give faulty advice that causes financial loss to a client. At Simply Business we offer between £50,000 and £5 million in professional indemnity cover.

Public liability insurance is often an important cover for businesses, as it can protect you if someone is injured or their property is damaged because of your business. Simply Business offers between £1 million and £5 million in cover, to protect you against this cost.

Another important consideration is any specialist tools or equipment you have, such as a laptop. Our business equipment options will help take care of the day to day risks, letting you get on with the job in hand.
