What insurance do web designers need?

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.

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.

If you have employees, contractors, casual workers or temporary staff, you’re required by law to take out employers’ liability insurance. It’ll cover claims from employees who’ve been injured or become seriously ill as a result of working for you.

The average insurance claim for web designers is £3,850 – could you afford this if the worst happened? (Average claim being £3,850. Based on data from 21st November 2018 - 20th November 2019, for comparison only. Cancellation charges may apply, please refer to our full terms & conditions.)
