Professional indemnity for freelancers
Mistakes can happen to anybody - freelance professionals are no exception. A miscalculation or wrong advice can have very negative effects for a client. For such mistakes, there’s professional indemnity insurance.
What.
Professional indemnity insurance covers financial damages, caused by ‘professional errors’. Think of extra costs or lost revenue due to mistakes such as accidentally giving the wrong advice or making a miscalculation.
Why.
Professional indemnity insurance is a bit less tangible than business liability insurance, which covers damages to people and their belongings.
Still, this insurance is an important one. The total sum often consists of different types of damages, which really adds up. Think of extra costs made to correct a mistake, the costs to mend a client’s reputation and the lost revenue, all added up together.
That’s why it’s mandatory for some professions to have professional indemnity insurance, by their sector association.
