@srcasm Hi Jesse, thanks for your comment and we couldn't agree more about how much services and infrastructure have to catch up to the changing world of work. Our roadmap has several potential branches dependant on what gains traction along the way, but they are all lazer focussed on freelancers and the new way of working. We see insurance as being an invisible service that will be there when you need it offering protection for your work, your health, your belongings and your pay wherever and whenever. I'd love to talk to you more about it I'm on ben@getdinghy.com

@hellotom happy to help! I'm slightly biased but Dinghy knocks the competition out of the park 😃. The list is exhaustive but here goes, Dinghy is….. - Designed and built from the ground up exclusively for freelancers - The first company worldwide to offer flexible, on-demand insurance for freelancers, allowing you to reduce your premiums when you aren't working, whether a weekend away or a 3 month break travelling - No 12 month contract, cancel when you want (but be aware of how Professional Indemnity claims work) - The only company to charge customers in arrears for the insurance they have used in the previous month - No up front costs - Billed at the end of the month to match freelancers cash flow - Interest free monthly payments - Pay only for the insurance which is used each month - Billed by the second, so customers never pay for anything they don't need - Innovative "Freelancer Assist" product included as standard on every policy - Overdue invoices chased on freelancers behalf - Tax investigation assistance, including IR35 and self-assessment - Income covered whilst on Jury Duty - Legal defence incl business vehicles - 24/7 legal advice helpline - Tax advice helpline - 24/7 counselling helpline - Worldwide 24 hour replacement of business equipment (or cash transfer) if selected as a cover - e.g. laptops, tablets etc - Cyber & GDPR Liability - Covers freelancers for GDPR liability and - Provides a specialist breach response team to uncover the source of any hack and keep the regulators informed of the situation - For any freelancers who have access to or hold any customer's data it really is a must have this year - Just 8 questions, get a quote in 40 seconds - Purchase a policy in 90 seconds - Instant documentation and cover - Online account - Alter policy whenever required 24/7 - Claims reporting 24/7 - No hold music…ever - No fees….ever - Mandatory policy covers: - Professional Indemnity/Professional Liability - Exclusively incorporating Freelancer Assist (above) - Optional policy covers: - Public Liability - coffee shop and co-corking cover - Business Equipment - Cyber & GDPR Liability - £0 excess on Professional Indemnity and Cyber Liability to provide zero blockers to a customer informing Dinghy ASAP about a potential claim arising

@thetwopct Hi James, thanks for the amazing feedback! As you say freelancers/digital nomads often work for different companies around the globe and ensuring Dinghy works for everyone is top of our list. Currently we are only insuring UK/EU based freelancers and their companies but we have ambitions to go much wider very quickly. I'd love to speak to you more about what may and may not work, feel free to message me at ben@getdinghy.com.
