North Carolina Directors & Officers Insurance

Directors and OfficersDirectors & officers liability insurance, or "D&O," provides coverage for the directors and officers of a business if they are sued in conjunction with their performance of their duties as they relate to the company. You’ll need directors & officers insurance as soon as you assemble a board of directors as few would knowingly agree to sit on a board for a company or nonprofit without this protection.

Directors & officers insurance is necessary because:

  • Claims from stockholders, employees, and clients can be made against the company and against the directors of the company. Since a director can be held personally responsible for acts of the company, most directors and officers will demand to be protected rather than have their personal assets at stake.
       
  • Investors and members of your board of directors will not be willing to risk their personal assets to serve as a corporate director or officer, no matter how heartfelt their belief in your company.

Be careful not to confuse directors & officers insurance with errors & omissions Liability. Errors & omissions is concerned with performance failures and negligence with respect to your advice, products and services, not the performance and duties of management.
