We all know that feeling. It seems like only last week that you renewed your professional indemnity (PI) insurance<\/a>, and you\u2019re already receiving your next renewal reminder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no denying it. Renewals can be tricky. Especially if there\u2019ve been some big changes to your business over the last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s also the question of whether you shop around or stick with your current insurer. Or change your cover. Or increase your amount of cover. Or\u2026you get the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, you just need a bit of a helping hand. Here are our top tips for renewing your professional indemnity insurance. Hopefully, they\u2019ll make it a bit less daunting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Give yourself time<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We all know someone at school who left their homework to the last minute. Without fail, it\u2019d be a disaster because they hadn\u2019t given themselves enough time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same is true when it comes to your professional indemnity insurance renewal. Leaving it until the last week or two will just make the job more stressful. And increase your chances of making a mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last thing you want is to rush it, buy the wrong cover, and end up not properly insured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give yourself ample time to do everything you need to do. Calling your insurance broker, taking a look at your current policy, collecting any info you need…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For most businesses, around a month should be plenty of time. But if you\u2019re a larger business, or have complex PI insurance requirements, you\u2019ll want to start preparing a bit earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Pick up the phone<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re ready to start discussing your PI renewal, the best thing to do is call your insurance broker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019ll be able to talk you through it, step by step. As well as answer any questions you have along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having an expert there to let you know exactly what to do can take a lot of stress out the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of going through your current policy with you, they\u2019ll make sure you\u2019re not missing any changes to your business that might affect your cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will help you avoid being underinsured<\/a>. And make sure you have the right professional indemnity cover for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Make a note of any changes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chances are, your business will have changed in some way over the past year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost any changes have the potential to impact your professional indemnity insurance. Especially if they increase the risk of you needing to claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s vital that you let your broker know about anything significant. If you don\u2019t, it could leave you high and dry if you have to claim. Or even invalidate your insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, what are kind of changes are we talking about? Here are some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
