What's not covered by Professional Indemnity?

The purpose of Professional Indemnity insurance is to provide cover for mistakes made arising out of your expertise, it is not a general business insurance policy. For example, it doesn’t cover loss or damage to business equipment – this would be covered by Contents insurance. Nor does it protect employees or clients if they are hurt on your premises – these instances would be covered by Employer’s Liability and Public Liability.

Before buying this insurance you should read the full list of exclusions on the Tapoly website from the link below.
