Cubit Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 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. Effectively, the same insurances as the more established companies. Only difference would be Employers liability and perhaps the numbers of staff covered.

Even one man band could be ltd co (wife, co director eg) in which case you need employers liability - keep paperwork for 40 yrs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just to clarify, public liability and efficacy and thats it? Unless like my window cleaner who has insurance to cover himself for sickness and hospitalisation etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
