Fundraising is a crucial matter for many startups and not securing enough financing was listed as one of the biggest start up mistakes in a recent Hiscox small business survey.*
In this episode, the Leap Year crew needs Mr. Cheeky's financial help so they can hire the genius programmer they found on Facebook. However, they need to be cautious because even though they are hiring him on a temporary basis, they will still be liable for anything he does while he's working with their company.
That's why their new business needs professional liability insurance right away that is customized to the specific risks an IT professional faces. You need to be confident in your employees to work in the best interest of the company, however better safe than sorry. Having small business insurance that is customized to the specific risks you face is essential in properly protecting your business.
