Frequently asked questions

Business insurance is designed to protect businesses when they suffer losses while carrying out their usual activities, and is particularly important if a business finds itself facing a claim for compensation. Typical business insurance cover may include employers' liability insurance, public liability insurance, and professional indemnity insurance. Own plant or hired in plant cover is vital for tradespeople who often use complex plant machinery and equipment. It either covers loss or damage to plant you own or any legal liabilities resulting from loss or damage to plant you have hired in – for instance, compensation due under any hire agreement. That depends on whether you use 'labour-only' or what's known as 'Bona Fide' sub-contractors. Labour only subcontractors work under your direction and typically use tools and materials you provide ‒ and are paid by you or through an employment agency. Bona Fide subcontractors, on the other hand, are paid by the main contractor but work under their own direction and provide their materials and tools. You'll need employers liability insurance if you use labour-only sub-contractors – but Bona Fide sub-contractors are not treated as employees for insurance purposes. This will usually be decided by the main contractor, who will set out in contracts governing your work whether you need to take out public liability insurance and at what level. The main contractor will take out public liability insurance to cover the entire project in some cases. Still, it can be a mistake to assume that this cover will defend against all the public liability risks you face as a subcontractor. The good news is that most contractors business insurance policies available from NICEIC Insurance include public liability cover as standard to give you the extra peace of mind that comes from knowing you are adequately protected. Yes. Simply follow the 'Get A Quote' link, fill out some information about you and your business, and we can generate an online quote tailored to your needs in a matter of minutes. An employee is someone who works part-time or full-time under an employment contract. However, remember that when it comes to employers liability insurance, you may need cover for people you don't consider to be employees – like volunteers, 'labour-only' subcontractors, temporary staff and students on work experience. IPT is a tax levied by the government, which is payable on all general insurance premiums. Professional Indemnity Insurance is a requirement for NICEIC Scheme(s) where the scope of work undertaken includes Periodic Inspection and Testing. This will cover the cost of legal fees and compensation if a client alleges a failure in your professional advice. The good news is that professional indemnity cover is included as standard in most of our contractors insurance solutions, designed to provide comprehensive, flexible cover at an affordable price.

 Legal expenses insurance covers legal costs incurred in defending or pursuing specific kinds of civil legal action. It can cover everything from employee contract disputes, Inland Revenue tax investigations, and bad debt recovery to prosecution defence and action against you related to the Data Protection Act 2018.
