- Products liability and professional indemnity insurance The ability to extend cover to include products liability and professional indemnity once revenue streams are established.
- Contents insurance This includes stock and research & development materials as well as general computer and mobile communication equipment.
- Business interruption insurance Flexible cover for the recreation of research and development materials and any increased costs of working.
- Directors and officers liability insurance If business funding has been obtained from external investors, this type of cover may be a condition of that investment.
