Mistakes and mishaps can happen.

 

The majority of blue chip clients and an
increasing number of prominent agencies now insist that freelance translators
and small agencies carry their own indemnity.

 

 

Having worked in the industry for nearly 20
years, I have found that most insurance policies that are sold are either: very
cheap but offer very little in the way of real protection tailored for our
industry; or very expensive and difficult to actually make a reasonable claim
on.

 

Taking our experience of what freelance
translators actually need by way of insurance, not only to cover themselves but
to cover their clients (and therefore win more lucrative work), we have teamed
up with Compass Underwriting to provide a tailored insurance scheme for
translators that offers both professional protection and personal accident and
illness insurance.  We believe that this
scheme is unique and offers you great protection whether you are rushing to
meet a deadline or rushing to get down the stairs!

 

Cover yourself against personal liability, errors
and loss of documents for as little as £6 a week (up to £100,000).

 

Add sickness and personal accident cover
for complete peace of mind.
