The guy in that picture doesn&#8217;t have it and look how happy he is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 reasons you don&#8217;t need directors&#8217; and officers&#8217; insurance:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s the low-down on why you don&#8217;t need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. &nbsp;You&#8217;re a small business<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because small companies don&#8217;t make big mistakes, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And even if they do, there&#8217;s no point suing the directors because&#8230;um&#8230;well, they probably don&#8217;t have much money. No, it&#8217;s the big company bosses \u2013 they&#8217;re the ones to go after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Except, really, that doesn&#8217;t apply. If something goes wrong, small businesses are as liable as any other. And if anything, the directors are an easier target because they&#8217;re easier to get to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, actually, company size is pretty much irrelevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OK, forget this one. Let&#8217;s move on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. You have a limited company<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Limited liability: that&#8217;s the point of a limited company, isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you get into financial trouble, your liability is limited to the extent of your shareholding (probably a \u00a31 share). Your company&#8217;s creditors can&#8217;t touch your personal assets. You&#8217;re safe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, hang on a minute. Just because your company has limited liability, it doesn&#8217;t mean<em> you <\/em>do too. That&#8217;s right, isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, yes it is. In fact, your liability as a director is potentially <em>unlimited<\/em>. If you&#8217;re sued for negligence, your legal bill will have three, four, or maybe five noughts on the end. And then there&#8217;s the compensation bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right. Better rethink this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Your company will look after you<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, of course it will. Why wouldn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;re a valuable, integral member of the management team. If you get into trouble, it stands to reason your company will defend you. No one gets left behind and all that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s assuming there&#8217;s enough money, of course. Maintaining a steady cash flow is hard enough without an expensive court case soaking up resources. And if the cash runs out, or there isn&#8217;t any to start with, guess who&#8217;s left holding the bill &#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hmm. Not quite a bottomless pit after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OK, whatever, doesn&#8217;t matter. There are better reasons than this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. You don&#8217;t work for that company anymore<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The great thing about moving on is that you can&#8217;t be touched. You&#8217;re free. It&#8217;s a new start, and the world&#8217;s your business oyster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter that towards the end it was going from bad to worse, eh? At least you&#8217;re out of there now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wait a minute. Isn&#8217;t there a &#8216;past liability&#8217; thing with directors?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh yes. Apparently you&#8217;re still responsible for the decisions you&#8217;ve made in the past. That&#8217;s right, even now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems you can be sued for your actions years after actually doing what you did. The bad news about that is that you can bet your previous employer won&#8217;t stump up to defend you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means dipping into your own pocket. Again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not doing very well here, are we? Nevermind, because this next one&#8217;s the clincher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. You can&#8217;t afford i<strong>t<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Too right you can&#8217;t!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially not on top of all that other &#8216;essential&#8217; business insurance you&#8217;ve shelled out for. Professional indemnity, public liability, employers&#8217; liability AND cover for your office too. Don&#8217;t they know times are hard?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not like every small business can afford a whopping \u00a373 or so a year to protect the people who run it, is it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just a sec. You can get D&amp;O from \u00a377? A year&#8217;s supply of tea and biscuits costs more than that &#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OK, that&#8217;s it. We give up. Clearly, nothing we can say will convince you not to have D&amp;O insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you simply MUST buy it, click <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/directors-and-officers-insurance\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> for a quote or call us on <strong>0345 222 5391<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll try not to put you off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Image used under license from Shutterstock.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re not going to beat about the bush here.
