Public liability

[GarryW]

Hi all. Visited accountant last friday and i'll be officially self employed again as of the first of june.

I've just been on one of the insurance comparison sites and was quoted £81.40 with £1,000,000 cover through axa, as i've not had to have insurance for alot of years i thought this seemed abit cheap. Or is there a company you'd recommend.

Thanks...Garry

I went with gleaming as found other brokers a pain in the **** quite frankly to get cover for all the services I offer. Not only that I did not just want basic public liability cover.

Don't bother with Simply Business all there policies don't cover what your working on. As good as a chocolate tea pot.

Hi @spanish pete it's not all our policies, we do have some that cover items worked upon for certain trades /emoticons/smile.png But I must admit I've never heard 'as good as a chocolate tea pot' before - gave me a chuckle :thumbsup:
