Mitigating risk. Maximising value.

Whether you’re buying or selling a business, unforeseen liabilities can derail even the most carefully negotiated deal. Warranty & Indemnity (W&I) Insurance helps protect your financial interests in the event of a breach of warranties or indemnities in a sale agreement — giving all parties greater peace of mind and paving the way for a smoother transaction.

Why W&I Insurance?

W&I Insurance transfers the risk of unknown breaches to an insurer, providing certainty around financial exposure and helping deals close with greater confidence.

Buy-Side W&I Insurance

Confidence to move forward.

If you’re acquiring a business, Buy-Side W&I cover gives you:

• Greater certainty and comfort in the transaction

• Enhanced ability to retain value post-sale

• Improved attractiveness of your offer in competitive bids

• Protection if the seller is financially constrained post-sale

• Extend coverage where there may be short contractual warranty periods

• Increased comfortability for lenders and investors

Sell-Side W&I Insurance

Clean exits, protected legacies.

For sellers, W&I Insurance can provide:

• Comfort in fully enjoying sale proceeds

• Protection from accidental non-disclosure

• Extended warranty coverage without ongoing liability

• Support in selling distressed or complex businesses

• Mitigation of risks relating to tax or financial statements

How It Works

Tailored to your deal.

We’ll guide you through the process and liaise with specialist insurers to ensure the cover fits your transaction.

To get started, you’ll typically need to provide:

• Details of the business (name, industry, revenue, etc.)

• Key transaction documents (e.g. contract of sale, due diligence)

• Summary of advisory teams involved

• Timing and structure of the deal

W&I policies are usually negotiated throughout the sale process, but only placed with insurers post completion. Premiums will usually range from 1 – 2.5% of the transaction value, depending upon the industry, business standing and sale structure.
