Professional Indemnity Insurance helps protect businesses that offer advice, expertise, or professional services from claims of financial loss. If a client says your work was negligent, incorrect, or did not meet expectations, this cover helps with the legal and financial fallout.

Claims can come from many situations. A calculation error, a missed detail in a report, or advice that leads to an unexpected result can all cause disputes. Even careful, professional work can lead to claims if clients think they have lost money.

This cover is useful for many sectors, like consultants, designers, accountants, engineers, IT professionals, and marketing agencies. Any business that gives advice or services, not just products, should think about this risk.

Professional Indemnity Insurance usually covers legal defence costs, expert fees, and compensation payments. It can also help with the cost of defending claims, even if those claims are not successful.

Many contracts require businesses to have Professional Indemnity Insurance, especially when working with bigger organisations or in regulated industries. Having the right cover can be essential for winning work.

Policies are usually 'claims-made,' which means they cover claims made while the policy is active. It’s important to keep your cover going so you stay protected.

At base Insurance, we help businesses arrange Professional Indemnity cover that reflects their services and risk exposure. We consider turnover, contract values and the nature of the work undertaken.
