					Hi folks; after what seems like an eternity trawling through the internet for answers I am going to give it one last shot and ask if anybody here can help??
My wife & myself are nearly 3x years into an IVA with thankfully no issues to date...
My wife is due to start self employed as a sole trader (can't do Ltd route as there is no bank that would give us a business account whilst in an IVA[:(]!).  She is initially going to trade (dress agency) via a 12x month license to trade however this requires us to have Public Liability Insurance of up to £5M.  
Is it possible to have Public Liability Insurance whilst in an IVA?  Does anyone have any suggestions?
Many thanks!!!!

					I read from another post a little while ago there is a company called HISCOX  that may be able to help.

An old bible proverb says this: the rich one rules the poor,  and the borrower is a slave to the lender.
How true are those words of wisdom.

					I changed my liability insurance while being in an IVA and didn't have any problems whatsoever. 
Funny you should say that hair_bobbles because I'm with Hiscox!

					Ah, thanks for the reply an reassurance Hair_bobbles and empty pockets.  It has been a real slog every step of the way to go self employed so far.  Hven't told my IVA company yet...... I'm dreading that one!
