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)

Having insurance is crucial to protect you when providing advice and guidance to entrepreneurs and business owners. Our public liability insurance covers you against claims if a mentee is injured or their property is damaged while you consult them. For example, you could be liable if a client trips over your briefcase during a meeting at their office.

Why Business Mentors Need Liability Insurance:

As a trusted advisor, your guidance directly impacts strategic decisions made by entrepreneurs that can make or break their companies. However, well-intentioned suggestions can sometimes lead to lost revenues, operation disruptions or venture closures.

Without adequate insurance, just one error leaving a start-up significantly out of pocket could put your personal assets at risk. Our tailored policies reassure you that your insurer will handle injury, damage and financial loss claims caused by your advice.

What Our Business Mentor Insurance Covers:

Our business mentor insurance offers protection through:

Public Liability Insurance

Public Liability Insurance provides essential coverage for incidents that can injure clients or damage their property while you’re working. Whether it’s a slip and fall during a meeting, spilt coffee on a laptop or accidental damage to equipment, this insurance safeguards you from financial repercussions.

Professional Indemnity Insurance

This essential coverage protects you from financial liability if your advice or services, even unintentionally, lead to financial losses for your clients. From inaccurate financial planning and ineffective marketing strategies to flawed HR practices and unsuccessful mentoring, professional indemnity insurance offers a vital safety net.

Legal Expenses Insurance

Legal expenses insurance shields your business from unforeseen legal hurdles by covering lawyer fees, providing expert guidance and facilitating out-of-court resolutions.

We offer varying levels of coverage based on your specific mentoring activities.

FAQs

Business Mentor Insurance FAQs

Business mentors are at risk if their well-intentioned but flawed advice leads to financial issues, disruption or closure of a mentee’s business. Without adequate insurance, mentees can pursue substantial loss of income claims. Mentor insurance covers resulting legal and compensation costs.

We provide coverage for all typical mentoring guidance, including:

  • Business strategy and planning
  • Budgeting, financial planning and securing investment
  • Digital marketing strategies
  • HR processes, including recruitment, compensation and performance reviews
  • Growth strategies, including entering new markets and partnerships

 

Typically, no. Coverage is for official contracted clients rather than informal advice to friends or family unless a formal agreement exists.

Some example covered scenarios include:

  • Inaccurate financial planning leading to cash flow issues
  • Poor marketing advice resulting in low sales
  • Flawed HR and recruitment guidance impacting team retention
  • Bad expansion plans overstretching resources leading to failure

If your advice has directly led to business losses or disruption, our insurance helps protect mentors.

As claims could potentially run into the millions, we recommend at least £1 million in public liability insurance, which covers property damage, injury and financial loss claims. Many mentors also opt for up to £5 million for better protection.
