Any suggestions for indemnity insurance? Self employed doing media type things - photography, copywriting, video editing, stuff like that.

I spent 25 years doing 'photography, copywriting, video editing, stuff like that'. In Year One I thought 'OMG what if I screw up and a client hasn't got his video for his sales conference and he sues me for loss of earnings?' By about Year Three I realised that I and my suppliers were competent and binned the insurance. Never even came close to needing it. So if I may misquote Clint Eastwood, 'How competent do you feel, punk?' biggrin

I agree about the risk of not having professional indemnity, but when I was a working photographer I had to take out
Public Liability insurance - I found a company that included it with my equipment insurance.
