Professional Indemnity Insurance provides financial protection against client non-payment or negligence disputes. If you’re alleged to have provided inadequate advice, services or designs, PI insurance covers legal costs and expenses incurred in your defence, as well as any damages or costs that may be awarded. The partnerships support members with the insurance solutions they need to provide their professional services with peace of mind. As a large membership organisation of interior designers, SBID professionals have varying needs and requirements right across the UK. Having access to a dedicated team with their wealth of specialist knowledge, experience and advice is vitally important in supporting its members in business; offering additional security and protection in the course of their professional duties. Holding valid Professional Indemnity Insurance is a condition of Accredited membership for SBID Designers. To find out more about SBID’s professional accreditation for interior designers, click here.
