What is Professional IndemnityInsurance?

PI Insurance

Put simply, Professional Indemnity Insurance (PI Insurance) is designed to cover claims made against you for professional negligence.

For example, if you are doing some coding work and somehow bring down your client’s system meaning they suffered a financial loss, they could sue you. Your Professional Indemnity policy would react and cover the defence costs and then any damages should you eventually be found liable.

It will also cover breach of contract and unintentional breach of confidentiality.

Insurance for Contractors

Of the three common business insurances, it is probably the most likely to actually be used by a contractor.

You can purchase various limits of indemnity, from £100k to £5m, but £1m is pretty standard in the white-collar contracting industry.

There are a number of specialist providers for contractors in the UK. Qdos Contractor sell a £1m policy for IT contractors for just £151.85 per annum, or £12.65 per month.

I switched over to QAccounting a few months ago and haven't looked back. I get to speak to my own client manager and accountant, the prices were the best I had seen, and I paid exactly what it said online (no extra costs). Very happy with QA.
