If your services as a business consultant include, among similar services, offering managerial advice, maintaining confidential information, and recommending financial plans and investment strategies, you should consider a small business insurance policy. With Hiscox by your side, you can keep financial hang-ups from hurting your ability to serve your clients day in and day out.
The heart of every good Consultants insurance package is the professional liability coverage (Errors & Omissions). Professional liability coverage protects you from mistakes made while working with clients. This coverage specifically fills the coverage gap in general liability policies created by the ‘your work’ exclusion in those policies.
The Business Owners Policy includes many broad coverages that apply to every firm. Most notably, the general liability and property coverage are offered here. The property coverage includes either owned or leased/rented offices and all business personal property. The general liability portion of the BOP protects you from liability related to bodily injury and property damage where your at fault. The general liability coverage does include an exclusion for ‘your work’ which necessitates the need for the professional liability policy noted above.
These are the management liability coverages your firm needs to provide cover for claims stemming from:
Employment Practices Liability – Protects the firm from employee harassment complaints, discrimination, wage and hour complaints
Directors & Officers – Protects the firm and corporate leaders personally for failure to act in good faith, misuse of company funds, misrepresentations of company assets, breach of fiduciary liability , non-compliance, and more.
