Insurance as sole trader

[abstibus]

Can anyone advise me of a reliable company that provides insurance for this? It is in the Education sector: consultancy work, sometimes overseas for short periods.
Many thanks

I think it depends what you want to be insured against? I'm assuming some kind of liability if you are sued? If not then don't read the below as I've completely missed the point.....

Often its better to set up a Limited Company and trade through that as a sole shareholder as your financial responsibility is then limited to the amount you invest in the company to start with.

You need to speak to an Insurance Broker, who, although not necessarily having direct knowledge of insurers covering the risks required, should be able to market your needs.

Depends upon what cover you want. Most of my insurance needs are covered by our household ploicy but I have Public Liability as a seperate policy. Got this through Lloyd & White 01823 250700. Make sure you let your household insurer know you are woking from home.
