2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Every client I've ever had in the UK has required my service company to have indemnity insurance.
It's even more important if you're a sole trader because your liability is not limited. If you royally screw something up and get sued, all your assets are on the line.
Indemnity insurance covers you to a certain amount (usually 1,5, or 10 million). And working through a limited company further limits you to losing only what's in the company, not your personal assets like your home.
I can't afford it, so I don't have any insurance.
No, but I do graphics and marketing. Having properly worded contracts is good enough CYA.
Some clients require it.
I joined a little contact whorehouse for my side gig and I pay like 10% of my invoices and get insurance and tax and payment processing. It's cheaper than ADP so I'm happy.
I have to, my professional membership requires me to.
Where I am it's required by law, but it only costs about €30 per month
