An insurer is listed for this trade only where its own live page for the trade answered on the day of the read. The price beside it is the lowest monthly starting price that insurer prints anywhere this record reads it, quoted in its own words, which is not necessarily a price for this trade and is never a quote for your business.

What every consultancy checks

What the client could lose is the exposure, not what the consultant charges.

Site access usually brings a public liability requirement at a stated limit.

Continuous renewal matters more than the length of any one engagement, because cover is claims made.

Source: GB business-insurance starting prices verified against each insurer's own published pages on 2026-09-11 by infra/ingest/hubs/insurancebyprofession.com/ingest_vendors.py: every quoted figure re-fetched and matched verbatim (hash-pinned). 8 of 17 insurers print a monthly starting price; 7 (tradesmansaver, abtinsurance, salongold, directlineforbusiness, admiralbusiness, constructaquote, craftcover) print none and are listed with that fact.

All 21 source pages; each is the insurer's own published page, quoted verbatim with retrieval date

Methodology: Every rendered figure is a price the insurer prints on its OWN page, re-fetched and matched verbatim (the quote and its retrieval date travel with the cell), then hash-pinned. An insurer that prints no starting price is listed WITH that fact and the reason its page gives none - never with an estimate, and never with a figure lifted from a worked example. The monthly cell is the LOWEST monthly starting price the insurer prints on any of its own pages read here, because several of them price per trade rather than per cover; the quote beside the figure says which cover it is for. Monthly and annual prices are shown on the basis each page prints them and no equivalent is computed, so the median is taken over the monthly column alone. A printed starting price is the cheapest premium an insurer will advertise, on a stated level of cover and the lowest-risk case it will write; it is not a quote.
