I have to say I did renew a couple of months ago but it's the first time I sucked the air through my teeth when the renewal popped up. Had to leave it and come back to it a couple of days later but still renewed in the end. It's worth it just for the agents buggering around with contracts and perkbox but only just......'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

QDOS for reviews, IPSE+ for insurance (and shopping)
Best mix of the two.
Perkbox (they used Edenred before) has come on leaps and bounds in the last few months, there's an app now which means you can very quickly purchase vouchers in store for things as you need them.
Use it enough on holidays and shopping to take a lot of the edge off the membership price, perhaps even eliminate it.Last edited by PerfectStorm; 8 August 2019, 13:40.⭐️ Gold Star ContractorComment

In short: weak strategic direction and scope creep.
Only time will tell if the expected hoards of home-working mums and make-up vloggers will compensate for the dwindling number of full-time, professional contractors who have traditionally paid the bills...---

When IR35 determination goes client-side next year will there even be a point to the insurance? Would it still cover you if client says you're outside but they think you're in?⭐️ Gold Star ContractorComment

Clients and agents may attempt to "transfer" liability via the contract, once any liability has been passed to them (I predict, mostly without success), but none of the existing insurance products are aimed to insure against that risk AFAIK.
There is, however, still a strong argument for cover on professional fees, in general, because professionals are expensive.Comment
