Common questions about D&O insurance.

  • Is D&O insurance only for large companies?

    Not at all. Nonprofits, startups, and small businesses all benefit from D&O coverage—anywhere decisions are made, liability exists.

    No—general liability covers bodily injury or property damage. D&O covers management decisions, financial oversight, and internal disputes.

  • Who is covered under a D&O policy?

    Policies typically cover directors, officers, and sometimes employees, volunteers, and committee members—depending on how the policy is written.

  • How do I know if our board needs this?

    If your board makes decisions that affect finances, hiring, or governance—you need D&O insurance. We’ll help you find the right fit.
