No tools recorded, but this trade normally owns some

A photographer usually owns tools worth insuring. Nothing that was read looks like a tool purchase, so there is no sum insured to work out. Adding items to the register, or connecting the accounting ledger, is what fixes that.

Where the cover stands

What the books say this business needs, against what it is on record as holding. Only the lines marked required by law are a legal duty. The rest set out an exposure for the customer to decide about. This is the statement of demands and needs, and every line opens to say what put it there.

2 cover lines 0 of 2 held
Cover Position Held now Indicated Indicative, monthly
Public Liability exposure
Why

Covers the cost when the work injures somebody else or damages their property. £1,000,000 is the usual level for a photographer.

not held nothing £1,000,000 £3.79 to £5.92
Professional Indemnity exposure
Why

Covers the cost when advice, a design or a piece of professional work loses a client money and they come after it. The level is sized to the contracts this business is likely to be signing.

A ledger shows a premium leaving an account. It can show what is held, never the absence of anything.

No website was read for Pelham Studio Ltd

Everything above comes from the filed record alone. Companies House publishes no website, so the engine built the likely domains from the registered name and checked each one. Tried pelhamstudio.co.uk, pelham-studio.co.uk, pelhamstudio.com, pelham-studio.com, and none of them identifies itself as Pelham Studio Ltd. A business trading under a name other than the one it is registered under will not be found that way.

3 things to ask the client each one changes an answer above

These are the things the engine worked out rather than was told, and each one changes an answer further up. Answering one turns it from something read off a ledger into something the customer has said, which is what stops cover being sold against a wrong guess. Every card says what it changes.

There are no buttons here on purpose. The practice surfaces the finding and the client takes the action, so these are questions to put to Pelham Studio, not answers to give on their behalf.

How many people does the business employ, excluding directors and partners?
Found: None found
From Inferred, low confidence. Changes: Employers' Liability, Legal Expenses

No tools recorded, but this trade normally owns some
A photographer usually owns tools worth insuring. Nothing that was read looks like a tool purchase, so there is no sum insured to work out. Adding items to the register, or connecting the accounting ledger, is what fixes that.
Employers' Liability is not currently required
One director, nobody on the payroll, and the director owns the company. That is the exemption written into the Employers' Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Act 1969. It stops applying the day the business takes on its first employee, and a labour-only subcontractor counts as one.

1 of 2 sources returned nothing, so the answer above is thinner than it needs to be. A ledger is the one input that cannot be looked up: Companies House will not say what a business spends and a website will not say who it pays.

Add a ledger for a sharper read a bank CSV, read and thrown away

A CSV exported from a bank or an accounts package. It is read in the request that carried it and thrown away when that request ends, and the file itself is never written down. The engine says what it made of the columns before it uses any of it, and anything the file cannot settle for itself is asked rather than assumed.

Choose the second option for an expenses sheet, where every amount is positive and nothing in the file says which way the money went. No export to hand? Take a sample, which is a fictional trade's year.

What the register says

Everything in this movement is public, was read without anybody's permission, and is what somebody filed rather than what is true today. A set of small company accounts describes a year that ended before it was sent in, and the register publishes it months after that, so every figure below carries the date it describes and the day it arrived. The register can say who has an exposure. It cannot say who lacks cover: a filed balance sheet has never had a line for insurance in it, so an absence here is an absence of a field and not evidence about anybody.

No figures were read from a filed account

No accounts have been filed yet. A company incorporated in the last twenty-one months may genuinely have none due, which is not a finding about it.

SIC 86101 says nothing about what this business does context

A SIC code is self-selected on the incorporation form and never audited, and this one is a formation-agent default or a catch-all. It is evidence of a declaration rather than of a trade. Filed at incorporation on 10 October 2023 and not necessarily touched since.

As at 10 Oct 2023, so 2.9 years old.

Other companies file at this address

49 Elmley Way, Margate, CT9 4ER is a registered office, and an accountancy practice is usually the registered office of its own clients. What files there is public and comes back in four requests, and reading what each of their own accounts filed is a job that can be started from that page and comes back later.
