Insurer Questions

  • What electrical goods or product categories do you advise on?
  • Do clients rely on written reports, specifications or compliance recommendations?
  • Do you carry out site visits, inspections, testing or demonstrations?
  • Are you involved in product sourcing, importing, branding or supplier selection?
  • What professional indemnity limits do client contracts require?

Professional Advice and Client Reliance

Professional indemnity is often central because consultancy work creates reliance. Even where you do not physically install or repair goods, your reports and recommendations can influence expensive commercial decisions.

Site Visits and Technical Reviews

If consultancy work includes visiting premises, reviewing products, inspecting installations or meeting clients on site, public liability and employers' liability should be reviewed alongside professional indemnity.
