Professional Saver Public Liability Insurance for Market Research Consultants


Our standard cover is:

  • £1 million cover for public and products liability (with an option to increase to £2 million, £5 million or £10 million)
  • £10,000 cover for any financial loss (£50K cover optional)
  • Worldwide liability cover for temporary work abroad for up to 14 days (excluding the USA and Canada)

As a market research consultant, your expertise guides crucial decisions, but even the most insightful analysis can face unforeseen challenges. That’s why having the right insurance is essential to protect your business from professional indemnity and public liability claims.

Our tailored policies cover you if a client suffers financial loss from your services, is injured or suffers property damage while you work. For example, you could be liable if your inaccurate market forecasts impact a client’s investment decisions or if you cause a client to slip and fall during an on-site observation.

Why Market Research Consultants Need Specialist Insurance:

As a market research consultant, you provide vital data insights that inform key strategic decisions for organisations. However, flawed analysis, inaccurate reporting or poor survey designs could negatively impact clients, leaving you facing substantial compensation claims without adequate insurance.

Our tailored public liability policies provide complete protection if your market research work leads to financial loss or legal action from affected third parties.

What Is Market Research Consultancy Insurance?

Market research insurance protects professionals who gather and analyse data to guide business strategy and planning across areas like:

  • Product or service demand forecasting
  • Customer sentiment tracking
  • Competitor benchmarking
  • Brand awareness monitoring
  • Advertising effectiveness measurement

It covers liability risks, including:

  • Sampling errors that produce unrepresentative findings
  • Leading survey questions that skew results
  • Incorrect data analysis and reporting
  • Breaches of research ethics or privacy laws

Flawed market research can lead to ill-informed decisions from clients, resulting in wasted budgets, missed opportunities, reputational damage and more. Our insurance covers any third-party financial loss or legal claims due to errors or negligence.

Our Cover For Market Research Consultants:

Our insurance policies can protect against:

  • Public Liability – Covers you if a client is injured or their property gets damaged while you work on their premises. For example, if your laptop charger is left trailing and an employee trips over it.
  • Professional Indemnity – Available as an option, this covers claims for financial losses clients suffered because of negligent advice, inaccurate reporting or mistakes during your consultancy work. For example, a flawed competitor pricing study leads a retailer to set uncompetitive rates, losing significant sales.
  • Legal Expenses – Provides specialist legal advice and covers legal costs if you face civil claims or regulatory investigations related to your consultancy work. For example, an alleged GDPR breach when surveying customers.

Additional Market Research Consultants Insurance

You can add contents and equipment insurance as a separate policy to replace items like tablets, survey devices, cameras and laptops that get lost, stolen or damaged during client research and analysis on-site.

Market Research Insurance For Temporary Staff

We can extend policies to protect any freelancers, self-employed consultants or staff helping you with data gathering, research duties and reporting. For example, if a contracted field researcher breaches privacy guidelines during interviews, our insurance helps cover you against the implications.
