Professional Indemnity insurance for business consultants and Advisors offers cover against financial loss suffered to your customers’ as a result of advice you’ve given, design or any consultation provided by you. In essence, Professional Indemnity insurance protects you against claims that result from work you have completed for a client while carrying out a service.
Your client could make a claim against you for a number of reasons. For example, If you’re a marketing consultant that advises your client to spend money on advertising for a guaranteed monetary return, and your customer doesn’t see any return from their advertising investment and claims against you for negligent advice. Alternatively, you might be consulting on a project and accidentally lose sensitive data or documents, your customer could claim for losses incurred.
A Professional Indemnity policy could protect you from a number of different risks; to read more about this please visit our policy information page, here.
Professional Indemnity insurance may or may not be compulsory as part of your industry so always check with your industries rules and regulations. Be aware that even if you are not required by law to hold a Professional Indemnity policy you can still be held liable for a client’s financial loss if you have charged them for advice, design or consultation work.
Business consultants across a broad range of markets could benefit from the security of a professional indemnity policy. Please find some examples below but there are many more, if in doubt contact us, we can help!
Where you charge a fee for a particular service whether that’s consultation, design, specifications or advice there is a chance a mistake could be made where the client suffers a financial loss as a result of your services. A Professional Indemnity policy is designed to protect the policy holder should a claim arise from a client.
Some industries require that you have Professional Indemnity insurance by law. Always check with your industries laws and regulations to ensure you are covered.
Even if you do not require it by law this form of cover should be considered essential in protecting both your business and your integrity against possible claims.
