Important Questions About Commercial Liability

Why is commercial liability so important for SMEs?

Companies have unlimited liability for damages caused by the business or its employees. Without insurance, high claims can lead directly to company bankruptcy.

What is the difference from professional indemnity?

Commercial liability covers mostly personal injury and property damage (e.g., a customer trips in your shop). Professional indemnity covers pure financial losses, which is particularly important for consultants, trustees, or lawyers.

Are subcontractors also co-insured?

This depends heavily on the respective policy. In many standard contracts, subcontractors are not automatically covered. We will gladly check your existing policy for this gap.

How high should the insurance sum be?

In Switzerland, a coverage amount of 3 to 5 million francs is customary for SMEs. For high-risk sectors like construction, a higher sum can be reasonable.

Does the insurance also apply to damage to rented premises?

Yes, tenant damage to commercial premises is usually an integral part of commercial liability insurance.
