Thinking of starting up myself was looking for some advice on what insurances to have and the best way to get them?

Do u need any sort of approvals to carry out fire alarm servicing?

All comments would be highly appreciated!

THANKS

As James has asked are you already working in the trade? If not this would be the best way to learn, ie get yourself a job in the trade and learn about it whilst earning. You can then decide if this is the trade for you.

If you have experience already and you are familiar with the standards, you will also be aware that there are risks involved with signing a test certificates, and it is best that you have insurance to cover yourself on these risks

You currently practicing in the trade?

yes I am. Been in trade for 6 years I am 23 and feel it would be better to got for it while i am young and full of ambition.

As long as you have some background/training.

You will need some insurance. What sort of work are you intending doing? and what do you have experience with, ie what sort of co you working for now

You may be better off trying subbying first, thats how most people seem to start this way you can earn money whilst building up your own business.

Hi CMcfadden,

I am fairly new to this myself judging by the expirience that others have on this site, but have built up over the last 3 years from being new until now, getting into the installing and sales side of the business; although I must admit I am not new to the industry as I was in the admin side before. What area are you located in?

Innerguard.

I'd be interested in exactly what insurances one needs to cover themselfs as a one man band, so to speak?

a lot of the people on this site seem to be self employed or employers, so are good people to comment on this.
