Business insurance

Insurance for Software Companies

A software company's biggest risks are professional and digital rather than physical. Professional indemnity is the core cover — if a system fails, a bug causes a client loss, or a project misses its brief, a claim can follow. Cyber insurance is increasingly essential given the data you hold and the breach exposure, alongside public liability, contents cover for your equipment, and workers' compensation once you have a team. With many policies renewing around 30 June, review your cover before the new financial year.

Common questions

Software Companies — insurance questions

Why does a software business need professional indemnity?

Professional indemnity covers claims that your software, advice or work caused a client financial loss — a defect, an outage or a missed requirement. Given software underpins clients' operations, this is the cover most likely to be tested, and many client contracts require you to hold it.

Do I really need cyber insurance?

If you hold client data or run systems clients depend on, a breach or ransomware event can be very costly, and cyber cover helps with response, notification and liability. As both a holder of data and a supplier of software, your exposure is higher than most businesses, so it is worth serious consideration.
