Sole trader review

Start with what your contracts actually ask for.

Client requirements

Many sole traders buy cover because a client, platform, or head contractor requires a certificate of currency at a set limit.

The work itself

Discuss what you do, where you do it, who you do it for, and whether you use tools, vehicles, or subcontractors.

Income exposure

With no employer sick leave behind you, how an illness or injury would affect income is a normal thing to raise.

Covers commonly discussed

The short list most single operators end up weighing.

There is no single sole trader policy. It is usually a small combination, and which parts apply depends on your trade, your contracts, and insurer appetite.

Public and product liability

Generally the cover clients ask to see, responding to third-party injury or property damage claims connected to your work, subject to policy terms.

Professional indemnity

Often raised where advice, design, or professional services are part of what you deliver. Whether it applies depends on your occupation.

Tools, equipment, and income

Tools and equipment cover, and personal accident or income protection, are frequently discussed because a single operator carries the loss personally.

Common questions

Questions worth asking before you decide.

Use the first conversation to clarify documents, timing, fees where relevant, and the policy terms that need checking before advice, quote, renewal, or claims-support steps.

Do sole traders need business insurance?

There is no blanket rule. Some covers are contractually required by clients, and some are worth weighing against how you work. What applies to you depends on your occupation, contracts, eligibility, underwriting, and the policy terms.

Can I get a certificate of currency for a client?

Yes, a certificate of currency is a normal document to request once cover is in place. If a contract specifies a limit or wording, it is worth confirming that before the policy is arranged rather than after.

Is it different from company or partnership cover?

The covers overlap, but the structure changes what is relevant. Sole traders carry business liabilities personally, which is usually why income and liability questions come up together.
