Tradesman insurance should always be considered as an essential business expense. Working as a tradesman probably gives you a lot of freedom, but with that freedom comes responsibility, as you are liable for your work and any issues that arise from your activities or products/services.
Having the right insurance cover in place can save you a lot of expense in the future and protect your business from losses.
Hensure Business Insurance Consultants can cover a wide range of trades (some are subject to application).
