Why buy
Management Liability Insurance ?

You also have a range of other things related to the business to keep on top of, things like making sure you meet all your statutory obligations, that your employment practices are fair, and your financial reporting and tax liability, to name just a few.
Even worse, you can be presonally liable for breach of these obligations and they are changing all the time.
