I'm semi retired and been working part time for the last year doing general handyman type work via a local company that handles all the marketing, invoicing, tax, NI, PLI and general admin. Suits me that way. Unfortunately the company is probably going to cease trading soon, nothing ominous, has a good reputation and quite a nice niche local market, doing the smaller jobs that the trade guys don't want.
I quite enjoy the work (mostly) and the money is handy, so am considering going it alone. Tax and NI are ok to handle, done that before in a previous career, I won't get anywhere near VAT registration limits, but I've just not had to get involved with Public Liability Insurance before, so wondering what ballpark it might be in (eg if £200 pa I might investigate further, if £10K pa I'll just sell all my tools on eBay and find something else to do). I'm in northern Home Counties.
Looked at online quote sites and they all want too much personal info, which I'm not prepared to divulge just yet (I get enough spam as it is).
Any guidance much appreciated. Also any recommendations as to providers of PLI.
