How much professional indemnity should we buy?

The size of contracts you undertake offer an indication of how much professional indemnity you should buy because an unsatisfied customer will typically claim the contract value.

It is worth considering that defense cost on average amount to over half the total cost of professional indemnity claims.

The minimum amount of professional indemnity you can buy is £100,000, however you should consider the additional cost of buying an increased limit. The most common amount bought by small businesses is £1 million.

In addition, to any required contractual or regulatory requirements, the amount of PI cover you purchase will depend on your perception of the exposure and how much you are prepared to spend to mitigate the risk.
