FAQs

Commonly asked questions

Why is Professional Indemnity insurance important?

The Professional Indemnity cover upcover offers on our platform is tailored specifically to meet the unique needs of a technology enabled business. This coverage is designed to safeguard your business against the financial impacts of potential claims arising from allegations of professional negligence or misconduct. For a tech startup, professional indemnity or technology indemnity is most commonly activated when there is a bug, product failure or product issue causing loss for a client, and they decide to take legal action against your business.

The professional indemnity policy provides protection, handling the legal costs and any required settlements or compensation you might need to pay. This cover allows your startup to operate with confidence, knowing they have protection in place, should they face such challenging situations. Even when your company isn’t actually at fault, going to court and building a defence is still a costly experience, and a technology focussed professional indemnity policy can help you better manage such a situation.
