Business insurance for accounting, audit and tax services businesses
Professional indemnity insurance
Professional indemnity cover from Superscript is one of the most advanced PI covers available online. It protects companies that provide advice or professional services to clients and is essential for accounting, audit and tax consultants. It covers compensation and legal costs if you make any mistakes in your services, fines, contract and IP disputes.
Cyber insurance
Accountants are targets for cyber-attacks and data breaches as they hold their clients’ most sensitive data. With GDPR now in force too, data must be protected. Cyber liability insurance covers you from a breach of regulations (where insurable by law), your liability for handling data, plus system rectification costs, PR expenses and financial loss due to system downtime.
Commercial legal protection
Commercial legal protection covers you for any legal costs incurred such as solicitors, barristers and expert witnesses – while also providing you access to day-to-day legal advice and tools. So, if you need help with drafting up a contract or handling an employment dispute, expert legal advice is at hand.
Contents and equipment insurance
Our contents and equipment cover protects your equipment, office furniture, documents and cash. Whether you're based in a home office or your own business premises, this policy will cover replacement costs so you can get back up and running in no time.
Once you've completed a quote, you'll be able to view a summary of cover. Please always refer to your policy documents for full details around exclusions, terms and limits of your customised cover. Read our guide to understanding your policy documents.

How do claims work?
1
Notify us of the claim
Contact us by email at claims@gosuperscript.com, by 24/7 freephone on 0800 772 3059 or by logging in to your customer portal.
Ideally this should be done as soon as possible and within 30 days of you becoming aware of anything which you think may be covered by your insurance.
A good indicator of whether or not to let us know is if there's an issue which may require a payment to be made on your behalf.
2
We'll get on the case
We'll acknowledge your claim within 24 hours, and sometimes in as little as 30 minutes! This means you'll receive email confirmation of your claims reference and contact information should you need to speak to us.
We will then reach out to you within 48 hours to request any extra information we need to progress your claim.
We'll keep you updated on the next steps as the claim progresses.
3
A decision is made
We'll let you know if your claim is successful or not. If your claim isn't covered, we will always try to point you in the right direction and support you as best we can in getting back to normal.
Read about the most common reasons claims aren't paid.
If your claim is successful, once we have all the documents we need, we will aim to settle claims such as accidental damage, theft and lost equipment within five working days.
