All lines of coverage

D&O

Directors & officers coverage for the boards other markets pass on.

Private companies, non-profits and associations carry personal exposure for the people who run them.

Cennairus is a licensed wholesale insurance broker: retail agents send us the accounts their own markets cannot place, stay the agent of record, and we take each account to the markets on our panel of 145 carriers that write it. Directors and officers liability responds to claims alleging a wrongful act in how an organisation was governed, and it protects the individual directors, founders and executives who are sued. Private companies, non-profits and associations all carry the exposure, whatever their size. Cennairus places it for the boards other markets pass on: we shop it across the panel.

What you get

Personal, not just corporate

D&O protects the individual directors and officers named in a claim, alongside the entity itself — their personal assets are what’s actually exposed.

A specialist market

Management liability is written by a narrower set of carriers than general commercial lines — appetite depends heavily on entity type, revenue and governance.

Non-profits carry it too

A volunteer board member faces the same personal-liability exposure as a for-profit director, often with less awareness that it exists.

Read from the financials

Revenue, net assets and prior claims history are pulled from statements and filings so the submission reflects the entity accurately.

Worth knowing

What does directors & officers coverage not cover?

  • Bodily injury or property damage A guest hurt at a company event, or damage to a rented venue, is General Liability — not a governance claim.
  • Wrongful termination or harassment claims Employment disputes over hiring, firing or workplace conduct are Employment Practices Liability, a distinct — though related — management liability coverage.
  • Employee theft or a fraudulent transfer Money taken by someone on the inside is a Crime & Fidelity exposure, not a decision made by the board.
  • A professional service performed badly A flawed piece of client work is a Professional Liability claim against the business, separate from how its leadership is accused of governing it.

In plain terms

What does directors & officers coverage do?

  • Directors & officers liability, D&O, responds to claims alleging a wrongful act in how the organisation was governed — a decision the board made, a duty it.
  • Because the people being sued are individuals — a volunteer board member, a founder, an executive — the policy is what stands between a governance dispute.
  • It gets asked for wherever governance carries personal risk: investors and lenders want it in place before funding a company, grant-makers sometimes require it of a.

Who buys it: privately held companies and their boards; non-profits, foundations and associations; homeowners’ and condo associations; financial institutions and credit unions; companies raising capital or preparing for sale; family-owned businesses transitioning leadership.

The vote the board took, the statement made to investors, the decision that gets revisited two years later — that is what this coverage stands behind.

Questions we get

D&O, answered

Does a small non-profit really need D&O?

Any organisation with a board carries the exposure — size does not remove it.

What’s the difference between D&O and EPLI?

D&O covers governance decisions — how the organisation was directed.

Does D&O cover the company as well as the individuals?

Most forms include entity coverage alongside individual protection, though the balance differs by policy and by whether the organisation is public, private or non-profit — worth confirming on the specific form.

What does a D&O underwriter ask for?

Financial statements, entity type and structure, board size, and any prior claims or circumstances that could lead to one.
