I need to get this sorted today, I have two quotes one for £63 and one for £121 + £35 as I cannot pay this in one go.

I need to cut costs as much as possible so the £63 is really appealing to me. The dearer quote covers stuff like being mugged etc but the excess renders this a bit pointless.

I am not entirely sure what the £63 policy covers though so I need to phone them.

At this stage in my business every penny really counts but I don't want to be under insured either.

Any suggestions?

Edit just phoned them, the £63 only covers the property, where as the dearer one covers me if I supply a part which turns out to be faulty and then breaks the rest of the machine. In computing the chances of that happening are not always that slim.

Edit its so confusing, both policies just cover things which will probably never happen. I am half thinking of going with the cheaper option.

All sorted now :) I went with the cheaper option and paid it one go, it should help cash flow a little bit.

£63! Hells bells, my insurance costs a lot more than that (although includes employers liability too)

Yeah I only need basic 1 million cover at this stage, I will probably need more insurance as the business grows as I have no professional insurance yet, I will only need that for web sites, network design, database systems etc.

Basicaly for my line of work insruance either costs £1000's or virtualy nothing.

Does not the premium equate to the element of risk? Perhaps JD is such a swift, smooth and no risk person enabling him to benefit from such a low premium :wink: .
