Directors and Officers Insurance
Directors’ and Officers’ liability insurance, whilst often overlooked, is an incredibly important cover for all types of business.
As a business director you have a personal responsibility for all your actions, including errors and omission and the decisions that you make. You can be personally liable for claims from employees, customers, members of the public, investors and regulators. Being sued as a director or officer of a company not only threatens your company’s financial position, but also your personal wealth.
