Why is Professional Indemnity (PI) Insurance important for your Brisbane business?
Why is Professional Indemnity Insurance a necessity? Basically, it protects your business by covering the legal costs of claims made against you. From unpredictable mistakes (such as the loss of client documents or failure to advise a client on certain issues) to cases of dishonesty or fraud, having the right PI Insurances in place can make sure you’re financially covered should things turn for the worse.
If you’re a business that provides a service or advice for a fee, then you run the risk of your customers making claims against you. If not insured, the legal costs of these claims could be damaging not just for your business, but also for your personal life.
