Professional indemnity insurance

Few businesses set out to make mistakes but they do happen. So what are the consequences should your business be accused by a client of negligence? Whether there has been a genuine error or simply a difference of opinion between you and your client, the threat of legal action, compensation, lost earnings and even the cost of having to put a mistake right can seriously threaten the profitability, and even future, of any small business.

Professional indemnity insurance can help protect you against:

• Negligence; where you have given incorrect advice or made a mistake
• Unintentional infringement of copyright, trademarks or broadcasting rights
• Loss of professional documents/data; includes damaged, missing or destroyed data belonging to a client
• Dishonesty where a director, employee or self-employed freelancer contracted to your business is involved in a theft from the client
• Defamation where you have used or produced any material about other companies that may cause offence.
