How much could a legal claim cost you?

Running your own business as a self employed professional offers flexibility and control, but it also means taking responsibility for potential risks. One of the biggest challenges you could face is the financial strain of dealing with a legal claim.

From allegations of negligence or breach of contract to disputes over intellectual property or defamation, even minor client disagreements can quickly lead to costly legal action. Without proper protection, the expenses of defending yourself and paying compensation can take a significant toll on your finances.

This is where professional liability insurance for self employed individuals comes in. Designed to shield you from the costs of legal disputes, it provides cover for defence fees, compensation payouts and other expenses, ensuring your business is protected.

Our specialists understand the unique challenges of being self employed. We’ll assess your business activities, highlight potential risks and recommend the right insurance policy to suit your needs. With the right cover in place, you can focus on growing your business without worrying about the cost of unexpected legal issues.
