Hi
I have been doing bits and pieces on the side mainly for family and friends for years, I plan to ramp it up in future hopefully, one thing which has always nagged me is got no public liability insurance as it only takes one pipe fitting to blow if I did a tap for someone etc etc, basically wondered if anyone's ever been in a similar position and taken out public liability insurance for part time work, I can't see how it would be a problem as I'd pay full whack as if it was my main job, just worried there may be issues with them paying out IE. they might quibble as its not my full tine job.
Anyway I'll ring some insurers but just wondered if anyone has ever been in the same boat, moving into self employed slowly from another occupation.
Cheers
John
