Strategic Planning Consultants Insurance
Get customised insurance cover to protect you from potential claims.
Strategic planning consultants assist clients in building strong and effective strategies for organisation development to meet their long-term goals. Businesses rely on these types of specialists to help improve policies and processes, but with such critical responsibilities come unique risks for advisers.
An insurance policy can help protect strategic planning consultants against potential claims that may arise from wrong advice or unsatisfactory work. In this industry, a slight mistake in consulting duty can make a consultant vulnerable to the risk of a legal dispute.
FD Beck may be able to protect strategic planning consultants by arranging customised insurance policies that fit their requirements. With a network of insurance companies that we deal with, we offer insights on what insurance coverage may be arranged according to specific needs.
Insurance Coverage for Strategic Planning Consultants
Any omissions and errors made by strategic planning advisors can result in financial claims. FD Beck can arrange customised insurance policies such as professional indemnity and public liability insurances as the main protection for consultants.
Professional Indemnity Insurance
Public Liability Insurance
Public liability insurance (also know as General Liability) is recommended to self-employed, consultant, contractor, or any businesses that require public interactions. It protects the business from incurring costs for injuries or property damage while conducting business activities.
If you visit your client’s office and your actions led to injury to another person, you become publicly liable. In the same way, you are also liable if an accident happens upon a client (or any other member of the public) visiting your business premises for consultation. If a claim is made against you, General Liability insurance can safeguard you from the legal costs of claims including third party compensation.
Public Liability insurance can also protect you against property damage whilst in the course of your business activities, such as if a client’s valuable item is broken or lost. Public liability insurance may cover the costs of replacement or the loss of the third parties item.
Key Risk Exposures for Strategic Planning Consultants
Various situations may put consultants at risk due to their critical work. Consultants are exposed to:
- Breach of confidentiality, libel, invasion of privacy, and defamation
- Failure to properly incorporate the budgeting process into the strategic plan
- Inappropriate communication
- Not allowing for sufficient time for planning process and client contact
- Failure to collect relevant information and design an effective strategic plan
