Before you decide

Good questions.
Worth asking.

Do pre-revenue startups have no insurance exposure?

Revenue is only one fact. Customer contracts, product work, employees, premises and data access can create responsibilities before significant sales begin.

Will cyber insurance cover a product failure?

Ask separately about technology errors and omissions, cyber events and contractual obligations. The product failure scenario and wording determine the discussion.

Should forecasts be included in a submission?

Provide the current facts and forecasts the provider requests, clearly labelled. Explain expected territories, products and hiring so terms are based on the intended business.

In Canada, ask about the rules and provider availability in your province or territory. Insurance Bureau of Canada · Business insurance ↗
