We would advise any professional angling coach to buy insurance.

Guiding might be your main source of income or a part time role and reputation is everything. Accidents do happen however and when they do you need a specialist on your side. Public Liability provides cover should one of your clients be injured whilst fishing under your direction and should the client believe you were responsible directly or indirectly. It also goes without saying that your fishing equipment is key to your role as Guide or Coach and for this reason we would always advise that kit is adequately insured. On top of this we would suggest that all self employed individuals have personal accident cover to enable you to have a weekly benefit should you be temporarily injured, which contributes to a lack of earnings whilst you are unable to guide or a fixed sum in the event of a permanent injury.
