As a professional flooring contractor, you need to have public liability insurance in place to protect against risks that may cause injury to the public or your customers. If you employ staff, you're legally required to have employers liability insurance. Professional indemnity insurance will cover any legal costs and damages that you could be liable for should you or your business make a mistake. You may also consider other types of protection, including your tools and your equipment.
