Business consultant insurance to protect your livelihood

As a business or management consultant, mentor or executive coach, your focus will be on using your skills and experience to help your clients make better decisions and drive business performance. It can be a varied role, working across a range of sectors and aiming to support clients working towards diverse business and personal goals.

But the role is not without risk. Unforeseen circumstances and unhappy clients can both lead to allegations of errors and omissions in your professional advice which, if proven, could damage your reputation and see compensation awarded against you.  That is why specialist insurance for business consultants is so important – the right cover, tailored to your needs, will step in to support you when you really need it, helping with both legal defence costs and compensation.

You can get comprehensive specialist cover at a competitive price in the next few minutes from as little as £1.79 per week* This includes a professional association discount and a 24-hour legal helpline, as well as no excess on the core insurance.**

*How we work out example prices. Customers will pay £93.42 a year for professional indemnity of £1.5m if they are also a member of one of the recognised professional bodies that receive 20% discount from us. £1.79 per week is based on a monthly cost when paying for the policy in one annual payment. Paying monthly is usually more expensive as you'll pay interest. This is the prices from amount as customers have the option of increasing their level of cover and therefore may pay more than this. **No excess applies to the core insurance (public liability, professional indemnity, employers liability, directors and officers), however for any additional insurance taken certain excess may apply.
