Public Liability Insurance*

Public Liability insurance is a no brainer for all types of consultancy services. Public Liability insurance is designed to provide protection for you and your business in the event a customer, supplier or a member of the public are injured or sustain property damage as a result of your negligent business activities.

Meeting with your clients, either at your office or if you visit them at their premises, means you’ll be exposed to potential mishaps and accidents – think of a client tripping over at your premises or if in the excitement of presenting your proposal at their office you knock over that expensive art work.

Business Insurance*

Your clients bring in your income, but where would you be without your business assets?

Business Insurance is an insurance package designed to provide cover for your business contents, stock, tools and commercial premises when an insured event occurs (such as fire, storm, theft or even accidental damage). A Business Insurance package can also cover your portable equipment, glass and for loss of revenue due to business interruption in specified circumstances.  In addition, cover is available for public liability, tax audit, employment practices and statutory liability risks.

Cyber Liability*

Consider the client data you may storing and the consequences if your systems were compromised.

A cyber liability insurance policy is designed to help protect you from claims and support your profitability in the event of a cyber breach or attack. Costs associated with defending a cyber claim are also covered.  Examples of the types of risks Cyber Liability insurance can assist with are inadvertent loss or release of customer personal information, cyber crime, cyber extortion/ransomware and business interruption due to a cyber event.
