The Roots insurance policy is specifically tailored to meet the needs of professional contractors and freelancers.

 

Please find a summary of the Roots package below:

 

Professional Indemnity covers you against claims involving accusations of professional negligence, making an error or omission, and giving bad advice which results in financial loss. It’ll provide cover for legal costs as well as any damages awarded against you.

 

Public Liability provides cover if someone is injured or property is damaged as a result of your actions. Whether you are working on your own premises or the premises of your client, you have a duty to protect anyone who might be affected by your activities.

 

Employers’ Liability provides protection against claims from employees. It is compulsory for almost all UK businesses. Regardless of your set-up, this is often insisted upon by clients who may require you to comply with a standardised contract.
