Frequently asked questions
Your premiums will depend on the size of your practice, the number of your employees, what types of projects you take on, your annual fee income and other factors.
Clients may require you to have a certain level of cover in place before you take on a contract, so it’s wise to look into this before you choose your level of cover. If you’re unsure or it’s your first time arranging for insurance cover, think of the worst-case scenario and the expected expenses needed to set your mistake right.
Our insurance experts will offer you advice on what level of cover you may need and help you choose from our range of policy limits so that you can find the ideal cover for your practice.
