At Zego, we believe that self-employed and independent massage therapists should be able to work with the same level of confidence and freedom as those employed by a spa or a clinic. No matter how you choose to work, we want to enable you to do so free from constraints or worries.

When you work alongside other people, it’s important to keep in mind what that can mean for you, your clients and your business too. Your clients are placing a lot of trust in you and your skills, so you wouldn’t want to let them down. You’d always want to ensure that your clients have the best experience possible and you deliver the highest standard of service to them.

A worry that can play on your mind when you work as a massage therapist is what can happen if something does go wrong when you’re working with a client. It’s a risk that’s worth considering too. A client could suffer an injury as a direct result of your work, you could accidentally damage an item in a client’s home while working on their property, or someone could even slip over on some spilt massage oils.

It may be the case that nothing like this ever happens to you, and we certainly hope that it doesn’t. But you can protect both yourself and your clients against incidents like these by taking out a public liability insurance policy. With Zego, you can get public liability insurance to cover you for your work as a massage therapist from as little as £0.50 per day. You can follow this link to get a quote in seconds!

Our public liability insurance can cover you for up to £5 million should something go wrong when you’re working. We also offer £100 a day reimbursement should you have to attend court as a witness, and you’ll have the costs of your defence covered in the event of a claim.

Whether you’re working from home, visiting client’s houses or travelling into offices, Zego’s public liability insurance will be there to cover you, just in case the worst does happen.

Our insurance enables skilled massage therapists like yourself to pursue the work you want to do, safe in the knowledge that you’re covered in case anything ever happens. Public liability insurance offers both you and your clients peace of mind so you can continue to work freely, without being constrained by worries or concerns.

To get a quote, you can visit the Zego website, or you can download the Zego App from the App Store or Google Play. If you have any questions, feel free to call our friendly customer service team on 020 3308 9800. We’re available 7 days a week and we’ll always be happy to answer any questions you may have.
