D&O Insurance for Small & Medium-Sized Companies
Today's businesses operate in a fast-moving and dynamic environment. Management is closely involved in the day-to-day business operations and important business decisions have to be made on the spot. Such entrepreneurial environment can have a dangerous downside as well. Because the management is so closely involved in daily operations and is often making key decisions, small company owners and managers are extremely vulnerable to lawsuits from regulators, shareholders, customers, competitors, employees and government bodies amongst others. A costly lawsuit of this kind can have a particularly severe impact on individuals since the owner's personal net worth is often tied to the financial health of the company.
