What’s your organisation’s annual income (including funds raised and grants awarded)?

We need this to work out what your insurance costs.
You need to put more than £0 to be able to quote.

?

This is the total amount of money your organisation gets in a year. Include fundraising, grants, sponsorships, membership fees and anything else that contributes to your income.

Go by last year’s figure. If you’re less than a year old, your best guess is fine.

What cover do you need?

Professional indemnity insurance Mistakes, misunderstandings and client complaints

Treatment liability insurance Mistakes, misunderstandings and client complaints

Public and employers’ liability insurance Personal injuries and property damage

Property and contents insurance Lost, stolen or damaged business equipment

Do other people work with or for you?

Include anyone under your supervision such as employees, freelancers and volunteers.

Yes No

?

So you know, the Health and Safety Executive considers all these 'employees':

Unpaid volunteers and interns
Work experience students
Labour only subcontractors
Temps
Secondees
Apprentices
Helpers
Staff borrowed from other companies

Note: even if someone is self-employed for tax purposes, they might be classed as an employee for other reasons. For example, if you use freelancers but you dictate where and when they work, and provide their equipment, you could be liable for their welfare. Even though they're not, strictly speaking, employees you might need employers’ liability insurance to cover them.
