There are lots of different kinds of business insurance that are offered. So, when you become self-employed, you should check and find which cover you need and what type of policy is best for your business. Businesses which are highly at risk from public liability insurance claims are those who have visiting clients or suppliers, even if the business is managed from home. If you will be working at a customer's property or premises, you will also be liable for any damage or injury arising as a result of your work for them. Having a public liability policy in place is not a legal requirement per se, but certain professions will need to have one in order to have an assurance.
