Professional insurance : how to estimate your budget?

Add up the premiums for the necessary contracts: civil liability, premises, equipment or risks specific to your profession.

Prepare your estimate

To be gathered to cost this item

  • Quote specifying activity, turnover, employees, premises and equipment.
  • Guarantees, ceilings, deductibles and exclusions of each contract.
  • Annual premium to be paid, insurance taxes included.

To be checked to avoid omissions and duplicates

  • A percentage of turnover is a budget assumption. No universal rate is offered: provide the rate in your quote or a documented comparable.
  • To find your ratio, divide the annual premium by the annual turnover excluding VAT, then multiply by 100.
  • Check for duplicates between professional liability, multi-risk, vehicle insurance and contracts included in a lease.

Documentary reference

The insurer establishes its quote based on the activity, risks and characteristics of the company. The official form helps identify contracts according to your situation; it does not provide a scale as a percentage of turnover.

Calculate the monthly budget

Add up the premiums for the necessary contracts: civil liability, premises, equipment or risks specific to your profession.

Enter the parameters to calculate the budget. Zero means zero expense.

Fictitious example: a quote of €1,200 per year gives a smoothed budget of €100 per month.

The budget is distributed at a fixed amount each month. It does not automatically track turnover, headcount, seasons or annual deadlines. It must be recalculated after modifying these assumptions.
