Business liability for IT providers and consultants

Professional liability and pure financial loss.

Your work determines the cover

Professional liability and pure financial loss need to be assessed against actual work practices and the policy wording.

Illustrative example — not a cover confirmation

A client requests compensation for a financial loss following incorrect IT advice. Whether cover applies depends on liability, declared activities, exclusions and deductible.

Points to check

Pure financial losses. Scope of services and contracts. Assess cyber risks separately. International work and territorial limits.

Information for a focused quotation

Services, project sizes, contracts, customer locations and turnover. We discuss existing policies and customer requirements through an agreed channel afterwards.

Beyond liability

With employees, KTG and UVG become relevant. Your own equipment, stock and premises require a separate property or technical insurance assessment.

Frequently asked questions

Is damage to property being worked on included?

This depends on the contract. It should be checked explicitly.

Can you review an existing policy?

Yes. Describe your work and the scope of the review; we then clarify the documents needed.
