    And through the PCG you can get PI/ELI/PLI through Randall Dorling - £1m for £200 pa, half the commercial cost, and if your contract says you need to have it, then you need to have it.

    Is the £200 true for someone with a turnover just under 100k? I need PI insurance and £200 for £1m cover is cheap.

      Would I say it if it weren't? Typical one-man business for standard levels of cover and risk is around £220 pa through the PCG discount. If your turnover is less than £100k I think (from memory) the rate is around £175.

      Similar cover sourced as an individual is close to £450 - so there's your basic membership covered before you start...

        For those of you who have not been around for very long:

        Malvolio posts regularly on this board on all kinds of contracting issues, mostly in the serious threads.
        He is normally right and does not give spurious advice.
        I have only ever taken issue with him on matters of interpretation, not of fact.

        I trust his advice.
        I am not qualified to give the above advice!

        The original point and click interface by
        Smith and Wesson.

        Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

            The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

            But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

              LOL Praise indeed.

              For info the cheapest quote I've had for PI cover of £1m off a £100k turnover is £364.

              So, PCG membership pays for itself v quickly in this case!

                  As well as all the other reasons for joining the PCG, within a month I had bagged a small piece of work (5K) through their forum.

                  So for me it was very worthwhile...

                    couldn't you close the company accounts and let them take the assets left in rather than pay the insurance premium?

                      There are a couple of possible problems with that. One is the value of the retained assets, this is all the shareholders funds. Trying to pay them out in these circusmstance will be a problem. The other is that PI cases are often targetted at the individuals concerened.

                      Still, it's simply a risk. Myco never held any PI insurance of any description. Cases are very rare.
