Special features

The Foyht policy wording is exceptionally wide and will be adequate for most individuals and micro enterprises. If your business has developed beyond “you” it may be beneficial to consider your requirements on a Business Combined basis to include other Commercial Insurance Risks.

Currently, the policy is only available to those resident or working full time in:
a. The UK b. The EEA c. South Africa

A list of the therapies we currently insure is available on our website. If you are practicing a therapy not on the list please call and tell us all about it. We would love to hear from you so that we can make our list of therapies and activities all encompassing.

Who needs insurance anyway?

Third Party Liability insurance is not compulsory in the UK. However, some organisations do insist that you carry Public Liability Insurance, Product Liability Insurance and Medical Malpractice Insurance.

You are advised to consider insurance under these headings to protect yourself against claims from Third Parties for alleged personal injury or property damage.

Employer’s Liability Insurance is compulsory in the UK (and most other countries)

As soon as you “employ” anyone to help, you must consider Employer’s Liability Insurance.

Take care: volunteer assistants and “labour only subcontractors” can be (and usually are) considered “employees” when there is an injury whilst working whether paid or unpaid.

The Insurance outlined above is suitable for “Sole Traders”: that is to say, individuals working on their own account.

It is also suitable for groups of individuals working together providing each of the individuals carry their own adequate Third Party Liability Insurance.

If, as a sole trader, you employ others to work with you, you will also need Employer’s Liability Insurance. We recommend that you consider a small “combined” policy if you regularly employ and organise helpers and assistants.

If you own (or plan to own) premises, we recommend you consider our Holistics Surgery Policy. Written on a Commercial Combined basis, this contract can include buildings, contents, business interruption and liabilities.

If you work from home, it is imperative that you advise your home insurers of this. Many home insurance policies exclude “working from home”.

We have negotiated special home insurance terms for our Holistic Therapy clients that specifically includes working from home. Our Holistic Therapy clients all qualify for a 10% discount on their home insurance.

Practitioner working at home: Combined Medical Malpractice, Public and Product Liability, Homework Policy, and Stock and Equipment cover is recommended.

Student: Combined Medical Malpractice, Public and Product Liability Insurance for case studies on and off campus.
