Insurance for Consultants
Professional Indemnity
There are literally hundreds of different consulting professions, yet all share a common factor – they are held to high expectations to provide a specialist service or advice. In case you do not meet these expectations, or your client feels that you have not met them; you may have legal action taken against you for failing to deliver the service that was agreed upon.
Thankfully, Professional Indemnity insurance is your protection against potential losses arising out of acts, errors and omissions from a wide variety of consultancy services. It covers your legal and defence costs, court costs, compensation awarded to your client, and PR costs.

Public Liability
Public Liability insurance is a no brainer for all types of consultancy services. Regular contact with your clients, either at your office or if you visit them at their premises, means you’ll be exposed to an array of potential mishaps and accidents – think a client tripping over on your premises, or you accidentally spill coffee on their laptop. It will protect you from financial losses arising from a claim of accidental injury or property damage as a result of you going about your business.
Business Insurance
Your clients bring in your income, but where would you be without your business assets? Without the right cover, you could be hit with a few unwanted challenges that could leave you reaching deep into your pockets. Consider cover for your contents, stock and premises to protect against fire, storm, theft, vandalism and accidental damage.
Business Interruption cover will ensue you get back on your feet in no time if your business is out of action due to an insurable event.
Cyber Liability
Consider the client data you are storing and the consequences if it were to be compromised. Protect your business against the expense and legal costs associated if your network is hacked and your client’s sensitive information is stolen.

- Providing inadequate or incorrect advice
- Lack of appropriate due diligence & allegations of negligence
- Misstatement or misinterpretation
- Dissatisfaction with timeliness of completing work
- Confidentiality breaches
- Fraud and dishonesty
- Conflicts of interest
