Small Business Insurance
Insurance is something that is vital in the business world. No matter how large or small a company is, from contractors to global corporations, insurance exists as protection and risk management against potential incidents that could cause financial loss or damage. Business protection can range from contractor covers to small business insurance and can range from a number of different policies.

Professional Indemnity Insurance is designed for any circumstance where a client claims to have suffered a financial loss as a result of a professional error made through the services they have provided. PI Insurance acts as a shield in this case and not only totally insures the policy holder in these circumstances, but covers all potential costs. PI is also a good business indicator and is considered as part of the IR35 business entity tests. This cover is often specified as a contractual requirement and is available for as little as £147.
PI Insurance
Public Liability is designed to cover all situations that arise if injury or death is caused to a member of the public through the actions of the policy holder. The policy is effective also when considering the potential costs of 3rd party property damage. From just £46.80 per annum, Public Liability Insurance can protect against claims like these. Besides being a good business indicator, PL is also usually required in most contracts.

If your Ltd Company employs anyone other than a director who owns at least 50% of the share capital, you are legally required to carry Employers Liability insurance. It covers you for claims whereby an employee has suffered death or injury as a result of your negligent actions as employer, including defence costs.

When concerning IR35, many who believe that they are safe from any HMRC scrutiny may actually still be in the firing line. Even those most compliant contractors are still at risk of an IR35 enquiry, even if they are in their first year of trading. This can begin as something as simple as a business records check. Lack of this insurance could lead to devastating financial consequences, and for the policy’s small price of £117, FTP will provide the necessary defence to deal with a claim from day one.
Tax Insurance
HMRC are increasing the number of IR35 enquiries, subjecting contractors to increased scrutiny. For the small price of £360, Tax Liability cover will not only protect potential legal and representation costs, but also your Tax, NIC Liabilities, interest penalties and fines. Potential liabilities in respect of an IR35 enquiry could easily equate to sums of tens of thousands of pounds. TLC can give any contractor the complete peace of mind that they are protected in event of any HMRC enquiry.

As an independent contractor, the security of employment benefits such as sick pay or paid leave do not apply, therefore with financial responsibilities such as a mortgage and monthly bills, the potential costs that would occur when falling ill could be overwhelming.

With the assurance of payments up to £3,000 every month during illness, the policy can be very effective.
