Professional Indemnity Insurance
for IT Contractors
Professional Indemnity Insurance - PI Insurance - provides financial protection
for limited companies and sole traders and is usually a prerequisite in agency and
end user contracts. PI Insurance is designed to insure your company against costs
incurred defending actions as well as covering potential damages. Whilst claims
(for negligence, errors and omissions) are rare, they do occur for a variety of
reasons from client dissatisfaction to actual financial loss by a client. This process
can be expensive and time consuming and PI Insurance gives you piece of mind that
your business is covered.
iProfile, in association with Trafalgar Risk Management, is pleased to offer
iProfile holders a Unique Price Promise on Professional Indemnity Insurance.
If you can find the same cover for less within 14 days, Trafalgar Risk Management
will match the premium and give you a cheque for £25* (see below for terms and conditions).
