What does professional indemnity insurance cover?

Professional Indemnity Insurance covers all businesses that provide services or advice and protects you from financial loss. Tide's policy covers you for:

Professional negligence

If errors in advice or services are provided to a client, causing financial loss. For example, an interior designer provides incorrect measurements for custom furniture, making it unusable and costly to replace.

Breach of confidentiality

If your business accidentally shares sensitive client data with a third party. For example, a marketing consultant mistakenly emails a client’s private strategy to a competitor.

Infringement of intellectual property rights

If your business uses copyrighted material without permission. For example, a marketing agency uses a copyrighted photo on a client's website without permission.

Defamation and libel

If you make false claims against a competitor or client’s reputation. For example, a consultant makes a false claim about a competitor in a public blog post.

Loss of documents

If you lose or damage client documents that are in your care. For example, a consulting firm's laptop containing a client's confidential data is stolen.
