What types of insurance do research consultants need?
These insurance policies cover common risks of research consulting.
General liability insurance
A general liability policy covers basic third-party risks, such as a client who trips and suffers an injury in a research consultant’s office. It’s often required for a commercial lease.
BEST FOR
- Slip-and-fall accidents
- Damaged customer property
- Libel and other advertising injuries
Professional liability insurance
This insurance covers court costs and other legal expenses if a research consultant is sued over the quality of their consulting services. It’s also called errors and omissions insurance (E&O).
BEST FOR
- Advice that caused a financial loss
- Professional negligence
- Research mistakes or oversights
Workers’ compensation insurance
Most states require workers’ comp for research consulting businesses that have employees. It also protects sole proprietors from work-related medical bills that health insurance might deny.
BEST FOR
- Employee medical expenses
- Disability benefits
- Employee injury lawsuits
Business owner’s policy
A business owner’s policy, or BOP, is a cost-effective way for research consultants to buy general liability coverage and commercial property insurance together.
BEST FOR
- Customer bodily injuries
- Damaged customer property
- Business property damage and theft
Fidelity bonds
Fidelity bonds, also called employee dishonesty bonds, provide reimbursement if one of your employees steals from a client. They are often required by client contracts.
BEST FOR
- Employee theft
- Employee fraud
- Embezzlement
Cyber liability insurance
This insurance coverage helps research consulting firms recover from data breaches and cyberattacks. It’s strongly recommended for any business that handles sensitive data.
BEST FOR
