Professional Indemnity Insurance
What is Professional Indemnity Insurance?
Professional indemnity (PI) insurance is often a compulsory purchase either driven by regulatory or professional bodies and contractual obligations. Professional Indemnity insurance protects professionals and their businesses in the event of claims made by a third party – such as a client – alleging that they have suffered a loss due to non-performance, breach of contract and/or professional negligence.
Professional indemnity insurance cover could protect your business against:
- Professional negligence resulting in civil liability
- Claim defence costs
- Loss of documents or data
- Unintentional breach of copyright and/or confidentiality
- Libel, slander and defamation
Why Have Professional Indemnity Insurance?
Professional indemnity insurance helps to protect your financial stability and ensure that third parties don’t suffer uncompensated loss. Insurers offer a wide range of cover options starting from £100,000.

Who Needs Professional Indemnity insurance?
Mandatory for many professions, especially those in the finance, legal and construction industries, professional indemnity insurance can also provide important protection to those working in other sectors such as IT, recruitment, media and management consultancies.
If your business is providing professional services to third parties you may wish to consider the following:
- What duty of care do you have to your clients or other third parties – whether or not there is a contract in place?
- Do you provide consultation services or advice to clients?
- Do you handle data belonging to clients?
How do I Get Professional Indemnity Insurance?
Professional Indemnity insurance cover is different for each business and, in many cases, is designed to meet specific regulatory requirements. One way to get a quote is to speak to an insurance broker.
They will ask you about various aspects of your business, such as:
- Your corporate structure (whether your business is a sole trader or a partnership)
- Number of employees/partners
- Wage roll of the business
- Annual turnover
- What type of advice you provide, products sold and management issues
