Can you afford to lose £10,500 from your profit?
More and more farmers and rural businesses are facing challenges and the risk of litigation for a number of reasons and in various circumstances. Litigation risk can come from contract disputes and debt recovery, regulatory investigations or from fraud and forgery. You may even find yourself pursuing third parties, which can be time consuming and draining. The right insurance cover removes the cost and distraction of litigation from a business and helps you preserve your profit.
