Frequently asked questions

Are a company's subsidiaries covered under the D&O policy?

Yes, with iTOO subsidiary boards are covered. We also provide provision for automatic inclusion of newly acquired or created companies; but we would require notification of these.

Can a director defend a fictitious claim?

With a D&O policy you are covered for defence costs. Our panel of legal advisors will decide whether to defend the director in court. If so, the director will not have to pay for expensive legal battles that may be drawn out for many years. If the defence is successful, then the director will not need to carry personal loss. We will however subrogate should it be legally declared that the director did act fraudulently.

Why should private companies purchase D&O insurance?

It’s often worth noting that the legal costs of defence are huge, often surpassing a new, growing companies worth. A negative judgement could lead to the complete financial crippling of a private entity.
