Protect Personal Assets with Director’s and Officer’s Liability Insurance
Serving on a board of directors is an honor and a huge responsibility. It requires a person of vision and business acumen. The expectations are high and if a poor decision is made, not only is the organization at risk, so are the personal assets of the one serving on the board. In today’s litigious society, it is imperative that companies and non-profit organizations protect their board of directors and officers.
At the Business Insurance Center, our network of experienced brokers understands the importance of retaining excellent members and officers. Who wants to serve on the board of a company if they can lose their home from an alleged wrongful act? We work with organizations across the country to get the best coverage for your needs without hurting your bottom line.

Reasons Directors and Officers May be Sued
The function of director’s and officer’s insurance is to protect the personal assets of corporate officials from lawsuits filed by employees, vendors, competitors, investors, and customers. There are a variety of reasons a suit may be submitted, including:
- Breach of duty that results in a financial loss or bankruptcy
- Misuse of company funds and assets
- Fraud
- Failure to follow workplace laws
- Stealing intellectual property of a competitor
- Failing to provide appropriate corporate governance
- Reporting errors
- Securities litigation
How to Determine if Your Organization Needs Protection
It takes one misstep to find your company or non-profit in deep trouble with a legal notice. It still may seem difficult to know if you need additional coverage. Consider these questions and then talk to one of our brokers:
- Do you have a board of directors of a company or non-profit?
- Are their personal assets higher than the organization’s assets?
