Accountants' insurance from under £9 a month

Public liability covers you if a client or member of the public is injured whilst visiting your premises or because of an accident caused by you or your staff. It also covers you if you or a member of staff damages someone’s property. An example of an injury claim could be someone tripping on your laptop lead while you’re meeting with a client. If the injured per-son pursued a claim against you, public liability insurance would cover your costs.

We can offer cover from £1 million to £10 million.

If there is an insured event such as flood or fire at your premises, buildings insurance will cover the cost of the repairs, this includes debris removal and architect’s fees.

Equipment breakdown cover is included as standard, so if the equipment that forms part of the building breaks down, we’ll cover the cost of the repair or replacing items. Equipment could include things like boilers and fire/burglar alarms, but we won’t cover breakdown due to wear and tear.

As an accountant, you might work from home, in an office, at your client’s premises or in a shared working space. If your working premises become unusable due to an insured event, such as a fire or flood, business interruption will cover the extra costs of setting up somewhere else until you can return to your normal place of work. It will also cover loss of turnover if you’ve insured your premises.

We can also cover you if your main client can’t trade because their building is damaged, which results in a loss of business for you, up to a limit of £50,000.

Our business interruption cover can insure you if you or one of your key employees becomes seriously disabled and unable to continue work. We will cover the incurred costs, up to £25,000, to minimise any interruption to the business.

If you hold sensitive customer data, process payments online or just want peace of mind, Cyber cover should be considered. Because cyber criminals can be clever. Catching you off-guard and tricking you in to doing something you shouldn't, like opening an attachment in a fake email, or finding a way through your cyber-security. If this happens and they get their hands on your data or access to your bank account, the impact on your business could be devastating.
