Why do Consultants need insurance?
You offer quality services and advice to your clients, but mistakes happen. Professional negligence claims, property damage, lawsuits… these are just a few of the many risks that consultants deal with every day.
That’s why many independent consultants protect their financial wellbeing with business insurance. Different types of insurance for consultants can help you manage unexpected bills that could force you to end your consulting career.

What types of insurance might consultants need?
Professional Indemnity
Providing a professional service or specialist advice is what consulting is all about. However, even a small error or omission in your work could create big losses for a client. Professional Indemnity insurance* can help you manage professional negligence, compensation claims, and legal action taken by clients—even if you’ve done nothing wrong.
Public Liability Insurance*
Meeting with clients in person exposes you to potential mishaps and accidents. Imagine a client breaking an arm when they trip and fall in your office, or in the excitement of presenting your proposal, you knock over an expensive piece of art in a client’s boardroom. It could happen!
Public Liability insurance* can help you handle third-party personal injury and property damage claims like these and many others.
Business Insurance
Your clients bring in your income, but where would you be without your business assets? A Business Insurance Package* could help you manage a variety of unexpected expenses, from damage to your commercial premises to stolen equipment.
A Business Insurance Package can be tailored to meet your business needs, including cover for tax audits, damage to your computer or other electronic equipment, and much more.
Management Liability
If you have employees, you might want to think about getting Management Liability insurance*. These policies can help you manage your employment practices and statutory liability risks.
Cyber Liability
Consider the client data you may be storing and the consequences if your systems were compromised. You may want to consider a Cyber Liability insurance* policy to help you manage the costs of cyber incidents, such as data breaches, cyberattacks, ransomware and more.

Customer Reviews
Rated 4.6/5 for Customer Experience
Tried a broker, the quote was exorbitant and the process onerous. A colleague recommended BizCover and he was right – quick, easy and competitively priced. I shall happily recommend. Many thanks.

Easy and best price I’ve found for great cover. The trifecta. I’ve also found the phone help to be excellent in the past, quickly sorting my queries out.

Referred buy a Friend & found this insurance about half (the price) of other quotes for the same cover. Great outcome.
Kerry W
Consultant
I love it. The online service is easy to navigate. No time out and its very user friendly. BizCover did find me the insurance products from one of the well known insurance companies in Australia at a very good price.
