Review third-party injury, property damage and professional financial-loss exposures.
01What work do you perform?
02Where are your clients and contracts?
03Could an error cause physical or financial harm?
Start with the essentials, explore the trade-offs, then compare written terms for your situation.
Business liability and professional liability address different exposures. Describe premises, products, services, subcontractors and countries accurately. Bodily injury, property damage and pure financial loss are not interchangeable categories. Ask which are insured and whether the policy matches contractual obligations to clients.
Compare the per-claim limit and annual aggregate, defence costs, retroactive date where relevant and the rule determining which policy responds. For claims-made professional cover, inspect reporting requirements and cover after closure or a provider change. A large headline limit can hide a smaller sublimit for a critical activity.
Review client contracts, quality controls and incident reporting. Check exclusions for your own defective work, contractual guarantees, recall or cyber-related events rather than assuming every business loss is covered. Update the insurer when revenue, staff, export destinations or services change.
| Option or layer | What to understand and check |
|---|---|
| Business liability | Covered injury or property damage arising from operations. |
| Professional liability | Specified professional errors and financial-loss exposures. |
| Product / recall extensions | Separate triggers and costs; check whether they are included. |
Do not rely on it without written confirmation. Professional activity, turnover and contractual exposure need their own review.
Public and professional liability are different coverages. Match them to actual operations.
Review contractual insurance requirements, territories, limits and deductibles.
Claims-made policies may require attention to retroactive dates and run-off protection.
Outsourcing work can move tasks without removing the company’s exposure to its customer. The contract, the worker’s status and the actual activity need examination. A subcontractor’s certificate is useful evidence, but it does not answer every question about your own policy or client commitments.

A product problem can produce several different costs: harm to customers, removal from distribution, replacement and the company’s own lost sales. A liability policy should not be treated as a single fund that automatically pays every consequence of a defective product.

Ending activity does not erase every allegation connected to previous work. A sale, retirement or liquidation can leave questions about historical records and insurance notification. Planning those issues before the final operating day is easier than searching for old contracts after a claim arrives.
