Providing a private companship and practical support service for the elderly one day a week. I'm thinking of setting up a small, self-employed companionship and home-help business called Hooksy's Caring Hands. Initially I will be working one day a week, offering companionship, shopping assistance, light domestic help and accompanying clients to local appointments. I will be working alone, with no employees, and expect an annual turnover of approximately £7,000. I'm looking for public liability and professional indemnity insurance, along with any other cover you would recommend for this type of business. Could you please let me know whether you can arrange suitable insurance, what the approximate annual cost would be and whether you charge any broker or administration fees? I'd also like confirmation that the policy covers working with elderly and vulnerable adullts.
