Why do Consultants need Insurance?

If you’re running a consulting business, you’re no stranger to long hours and hard work. Behind every polished client presentation or pitch, there were hours of research, brainstorming and calculations. Unfortunately though, every project you work on and every client you win also brings with it the possibility of something going wrong. Whether a client your advice caused them financial loss, or a major storm damages your premises that you’re no longer able to operate, there are many incidents that could occur that can have significant consequences for your business. Therefore, insurance is an important consideration for consulting businesses to help ensure you can keep focusing on wins rather than the resulting financial difficulties of certain events.
