I am just about to go self-employed as a heli instructor/CPL and I am looking into liability insurance and was wondering if anyone has any useful advice, or can give me the number of a good insurer.

Extract from the flight instructor thread - I think Besso are the providers (www.besso.co.uk). How do you link to another thread ?
Here is something from AOPA that maybe of interest.
INSTRUCTOR LIABILITY INSURANCE
available to AOPA members only
Limit of Indemnity £1,000,000
Does not cover instructor bodily injury or death, just his or her liability should a claim be made against them
Option 1: Coverage only whilst instructor is on the ground and the student is solo.
Option 2: Coverage as above but also includes the instructor whilst in the aircraft.
Cover only available for UK instructors.
Fixed wing or rotor wing aircraft - excludes microlights, balloons and gliders.
Covers aircraft designed to carry no more than seven passengers.
The scheme runs from 15th July – 14th July annually, hence premiums scale down at certain points in the year (quarterly).
