Do sole trader handymen need insurance?

If you operate as a sole trader, you are personally responsible, both legally and financially, for your business. In other words, you may have a personal liability which can affect your personal assets if things go wrong. Business insurance can help handypeople protect their business and personal assets by covering the costs of claims, lawsuits, and much more (depending on the types of cover you choose).

Does handyman insurance protect handypeople who are licensed to do electrical or plumbing work?

Electrical and plumbing work can only be undertaken by tradespeople who hold the relevant qualifications. If you are qualified and licensed and intend to do this work as part of your handyman service, in taking out your business insurance you must select your occupation as either Electrical or Plumbing Services and advise that you undertake more extensive handyman services.

What is a Business Insurance Pack for handymen?

Chances are you rely on your own tools and equipment to run your business, from your trusty hammer to a computer and smartphone. Luckily, there’s an easy way to protect your business assets and other parts of your handyman business—by choosing a Business Insurance Pack . Business Insurance is an insurance package designed to provide cover for your business contents, stock, tools and commercial premises when an insured event occurs (such as fire, storm, theft or even accidental damage).
