Nowadays, many employers require consultants and contractors to carry liability insurance. This specifically applies to marketing consultants. Marketing consultants, whether a small firm with a few employees or an independent contractor, are liable for any losses directly related to the work they do for a client. In order to ensure that they are compensated for any losses, employers protect themselves by requiring that the contractor be insured. The types of insurance required usually included are:
- General Liability Insurance
- Professional Liability Insurance
- Worker’s Compensation Insurance
Having a comprehensive liability insurance package is also wise for the consultant. Legal defense fees are often so exorbitant that they can easily sink a small business. Having the proper insurance protects your business from going under in the event of a lawsuit.
