What is freelancers insurance?
As the exact type of insurance you’ll need will be influenced by the type of industry you work in and the type of work you do, freelancers insurance needs can vary greatly. Generally, freelancers will be looking for insurance that protects them against any potential claims from customers, suppliers, contractors or anyone they come into contact with at work. Public Liability insurance is the cover that most freelancers would take as a minimum, with additional options available dependent on the type of work that they do.
