Hi,

I'm starting my new job tomorrow. I run my own limited company but am relatively new to it. My new agent has requested that I purchase:

Professional Indemnity Insurance

Employers Liability Insurance

Public Liability Insurance

Is this correct? I've seen Hiscox recommended here a fair bit - if I need all the above is it best to get it all in the one place?

Thanks very much

I was in exactly the same situation last October when I started my second contract. First contract didn't require any form of insurance, but the agency I dealt with for the second one stipulated it as a requirement, as well as how much cover I needed in each area.

I also went for the Caunce O'hara, but I'm sure there are cheaper options.
