Frequently asked questions about executive liability insurance
Small and family-run businesses run many of the same risks that larger ones do, but as a smaller firm you probably lack the resources to defend yourself against accusations of wrongdoing. Executive liability insurance that aligns with the size and type of your business makes sense if you want to protect your interests, achieve your goals and reach your potential.
Examples of Executive liability are misrepresentation of company assets, misuse of company funds, breach of fiduciary duty or a variety of claims brought against a business owner, company executive or member of a board of directors by customers, vendors and other third parties.
The cost of executive liability insurance will depend on several factors. For example, you could pay a lower premium if your company has a proven track record of financial and risk management stability. That’s why you should seek the expert advice of an insurance partner who can properly assess your exposure and ensure that your interests are protected.
