Insurance for self employment

I hav a strange query to make ..one of my friend who have applied for xtension have received a query from HO to provide the insurance detail ..

My question is : insurance is no more an requirement for the HO as it s not there in the PDF guide .. So why they have asked for it ?

I know it's always a good practice to have the insurance .. But what happens when I don't have an insurance and I have an xtension due ??

Please advise ..

I am unable to follow why HO has asked for the Insurance. In case HO has asked your friend for Insurance details, he could just get it right away if he doesn't have one.

It's always good to have an insurance for any business that you conduct, even though it is not mandatory but it won't hurt if you have one. Generally it won't matter if you have an insurance or not at the time of your extension but again it's a good to have.

Thanks for the reply .. We are concerned as the letter says " please provide insurance details for the claimed period of income " . He have already got the insurance papers but those are new and it's not for the period of income .. Any solutions please ???

I am not sure if there is a way to get back dated insurance. Check with the insurance providers to see if there is way.

Is the Professional Idemnity Insurance UKBA is looking for? Please advise. I have the Professional Idemnity Insurance for my company as I am working as a IT contractor. If they are looking for I will make sure take the same document with me.

as a limited company director it is compulsory to purchase Employers & Liability insurance and good to have Public liability insurance in the event of claims from staff or public. Looks like HMRC is committed and looking into nitty gritty things to ensure no one is duping them with false companies etc.

Professional Indemnity Insurance ( PI ) is not mandatory, until unless end client/company demands that from a director.

Any Limited company director should have knowledge about all the above.

Hi unahb1,
I dont have employers and liability insurance till now. I am going to add that as a package to my existing professional Indemnity Insurance. Thanks for enlightening me about that.

I operate as a sole trader and I have the Employers Liability and the Public liabilty insurance as a package of the sole trader insurance .
Is it necessary to get the professional indemnity insurance as that needs to be purchased separately and my Insurance company says that its not necessary for my business,
Please advice if HO is looking for Professional indemnity insurance as well.

Can someone confirm whether it's compulsory to purchase Employers & Liability insurance for your Limited Company? My accountant helped to set up the company and he's never mentioned it. Im due to extend as well and am worried about this.

Not mandatory by companies house, but advisable. Depends on your contract terms with other companies.

This is something new for me. Sorry, don't have any inputs for you but some queries sure.
The case of your friend who was asked for insurance : Is he also sole trader or limited company? Did he have the insurance? If not, what were the implications?

Thanks,
nks

Any answers on professional indemnity insurance ... I think it's better to add another piece of document .. But I am concerned about another point now ..
If I add the professional indemnity now and I have the other 2 insurance from before is that a problem ? I mean will case worker question : why the insurance was added later ??
Please advice .
