Why do Architects need insurance?
As an architect, the masterpieces you create are your pride and joy, and nothing excites you more than seeing your creations stand tall.
But like all small businesses, there are risks in the operation of your business. Some incidents could have enough financial strain to completely bring your practice to a stop. An unhappy client, a storm causing damage to your expensive office & design equipment – sometimes, these sorts of mishaps can be enough to cause your world to come falling down. Insurance that is customised for the common risks in your industry should be a key consideration when deciding how to protect your business.
