Nutrition Consultant Insurance

What insurance do I need for my wellness clinic?

We understand the unique culture of your field of practice and the associated hazards of running this type of business, so we’ve created a special program providing comprehensive coverage under a single policy that includes:

• Business Interruption: This coverage will provide for your ongoing expenses as well as lost income if your clinic is shut down for days or weeks due to a claim.
• Contents (and building) coverage is essential and our program extensions are designed to add additional coverage to round out your program.
• Professional Liability and business owner’s insurance. BrokerLink is pleased to bring you an exclusive program that we have provided to alternative healthcare practitioners for over 15 years. Professional Liability is the cornerstone of our program. This coverage is written on an “Occurrence Form” to give you lifetime protection for claims made against you. This coverage has also been extended to include “Owners Protective Professional Liability” and will insure the clinic, its owners, employees, subcontractors and volunteers.
• Commercial General Liability: The most common form of liability that accounts for the majority of liability claims. Even if a client falls and is injured on the property that you rent you may be held accountable.

Who needs nutrition consulting insurance?

Nutrition consultants, sometimes referred to as holistic nutritionists, who provide nutritional advice to a wide range of clients, including individuals, private companies, or even public health organizations. The advice provided by a nutrition consultant can vary. For example, their job may involve suggesting lifestyle changes or specific nutrition practices and even providing meal planning services, sometimes including food preparation. Some nutrition consultants also work in the public sector, helping to develop or advise on community food programs.

If you are a practicing nutrition consultant, then nutrition consultant insurance is critical to safeguarding your reputation and business. Without it, one lawsuit alleging negligence or substandard care could have a significant financial impact.

What risks do nutrition consultants face in Canada?

Nutrition consultant insurance can protect nutrition consultants who operate in Canada from common risks, like claims of negligence or malpractice lawsuits. Depending on the insurance coverage you choose, your business may also be protected against the day-to-day risks that come with operating any company, such as third-party property damage or bodily injury.

From being sued by a client for failure to deliver a promised service to a fire erupting in your nutrition consulting office, damaging its contents, it’s important for nutritionists to be prepared for a wide range of scenarios. In our minds, the best way to be prepared is to purchase nutrition consultant insurance.
