Unternehmens-Rechtsschutz 

 Operating rights protection

In contrast to the private, transport, and real estate legal protection insurance, which is mainly used by individuals, operating legal expenses insurance is primarily for businesses and the self-employed. Therefore, holders of this type of insurance are the owner of a business or self-employed. While this type of insurance is taken on a voluntary basis, for businesses it should be considered a must. This is because the everyday work world exposes businesses to many problems and disputes, ranging from a unpaid bill for a defective delivery to very complex processes.

Benefits of operating legal expenses insurance

Virtually all legal expenses insurance in Switzerland offer an operating rights protection option. Therefore, the choice of offers for the individual is very large and can be tailor-made to offer solutions for your business.
