This type of policy usually offers cover and protection for executive directors and officers or, more generally, corporate officers – anyone that is put in charge of making decisions. D&O insurance can protect them from any claims or investigations made against them as well as decisions that are carried out while they are acting as director or officer. All past, present and future directors are covered by this policy as well.
Operating a business in cosmopolitan Singapore increasingly mean that your company is likely to operate with international partners. A company conducting business outside of Singapore is one that is subject to a different set of rules and laws. When your company goes global, a D&O insurance can help you by making sure that any business decisions made abroad are protected as well. Give us a call at +65 6439 8026 to find out more about the different corporate insurances we offer and their associated costs. Our dedicated insurance experts will be happy to guide you.
