IT and technology businesses
As an IT and technology business, you’ll be working with expensive equipment and sensitive client data. Insurance means you’re protected against the things you can’t see coming. We insure a range of professions, from IT consultants to web designers and web developers.
Management consultants
As a business and management consultant, insurance matters. Your integrity is critical to the success of your business, both personally and professionally, but it’s not always plain sailing.
Coaching, training and education
As a professional in coaching, training or education, insurance is a key part of your business plan. You need to know that you and those you’re responsible for are protected. We insure specific professions, including tutors and private teachers.
Advertising and creative businesses
In fast-paced, creative industries like marketing and media, insurance is really important. You’ll be working with intellectual property every day, so you need to know you’re covered. We insure a range of marketing and media professions, from graphic designers and digital marketing agencies to videographers and photographers.
Retail and shops
When you’ve worked hard to build your business, it’s important to protect it. Your stock, your premises and your good name all matter, so make sure they’re covered. We cover specific business types including shops as well as specific trades such as jewellers, antique dealers, travel agents and florists.
Health and wellbeing businesses
Whether you’re a yoga instructor, a dietician or you practice reiki, your job is all about helping people, so you need the confidence of knowing you’re properly covered. We insure a range of professions, from massage therapists and personal trainers to dentists and opticians.
