At the moment, I am running a garden maintenance business myself.
I do not empoly anyone.
I own a van and a few grands worth of tools, all insured.
I am not sure about public liability or any other coverage I may legally require.
Anyone out there have any suggestions?
Perhaps I should speak to my accountant.......
Anita, tis all you need right now. Public Liability. Shop around - the quotations will vary enormously. As time goes and you secure work in business or LA based, they may well ask that you have a minimum. This also varies and some will say 5 million pounds, others 10 - and an occasional bigger one, but that is for the future. You don't need PI, just the PL and of course rightly so goods in transit and your tools for the job. Good luck and I expect you are hoping for a good Spring/Summer? Mike bonsai passion
Yep PL's all you need. That will teach Clive to have a few days off ![]() After spending 15 years in the insurance industry, our Clive (garde) misses out and I get to answer an insurance question. Although Mike beat me to it ![]()

Hi Anita I too have my own small business with a van and tools. I have trades insurance with Directline which also includes Public Liability for just under a fiver a month. It's certainly worth speaking to them. regards Paul
If anyone's on the lookout for insurance, Simply Business do decent quote price comparisons and at the moment if you buy via them you get a voucher for VirtuallyMary
Hi Anita I think you certainly need to have PL. What's wrong playing safe. Have Public Liability, then your work more freely. |
