How much Directors' and Officers' Insurance cover do you need?

There are a number of factors that come together to answer this. Firstly, it depends on your business type and your role. Because both have an impact on the types of risks you could face. The size of your company also has an impact. If you have responsibility for a large organisation this could mean potential negligence claims will come with higher values attached to them. Therefore, you will require a higher level of indemnity. We can cover you from £100,000 to £10 million, but of course your policy is tailored to you, so we’ll work with you to create a policy that fits you like a glove.
