    Negotiate

    Another possible approach is to negotiate the additional cost of the insurance into the rate.

    It's happened a couple of times with me where the agency says client insists on XYZ level, I have said something along the lines "they can pay for it then" and suddenly, the "requirement" is dropped.

      I previously worked on safety critical rail systems, where the contract required a high level of professional indemnity.

      I've always considered it not that expensive when offset against what my business charges for services. It is just a cost of doing business.

            Public Liability implies a public to be recompensed.

              Yes and a trading limited company normally deals with the 'public' at some level.
