Professional Saver Public Liability Insurance for Company Search Agencies


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 company search agency, having comprehensive insurance is crucial to protect you when providing business data lookup services to clients. Our public liability insurance covers you against claims if a customer suffers loss or their property is damaged due to inaccuracies or errors in the company information you supply.

What is Company Search Agency Insurance?

Company search agency insurance protects businesses that provide company data lookup services to other organisations and individuals. Typical services include supplying accurate details on:

  • Company registration numbers, status and incorporation dates
  • Registered offices, trading addresses and contact details
  • Director and secretary identities and appointment dates
  • Shareholder information and annual return filings
  • Mortgage charges, court judgments and insolvency events
  • Financial figures, credit scores and business activity classifications

However, flaws or mistakes in supplied company information can lead to significant loss if organisations use inaccurate data to make crucial business decisions. This insurance covers resulting negligence claims.

FAQs

Company Search Agency Insurance FAQs

As company search agencies supply important identification data that clients rely on to make key business decisions, mistakes can be costly. Just one error in a company number, registered address or director identity could contribute to a client making an ill-informed call that loses them money. Comprehensive insurance covers resulting claims.

Some examples of company search errors we would cover include:

  • Incorrect company number leading to signing contract with illegal entity.
  • Outdated registered office address meaning client struggles to serve legal papers.
  • Director details flaws meaning disqualification status is missed allowing unfit appointment.
  • Errors in shareholder identities meaning a vital controlling party is not identified during investment due diligence.

Yes – our company search insurance can cover liabilities arising from mistakes made by any temporary staff, freelancers or contractors you engage under your business name to conduct business data gathering and supply activities. This ensures full protection.

Our core covers that can protect company search agencies are:

  • Professional Indemnity (optional) – Compensates clients who suffer financial loss due to relying on inaccurate company information supplied.
  • Public Liability – Covers injury or property damage caused to clients while they are on your premises.

However, we do offer a wide range of insurance policies – available as addons to your main insurance, so you may be able to get the comprehensive cover you’re looking for.
