Both buyers and sellers carry risk under the terms of a typical M&A deal. For buyers, an innocent misrepresentation, fraud, intentional misrepresentation or wilful concealment by the seller can cause significant issues. Sellers are usually responsible for indemnifying the buyers for any breach of the R&W which leads to financial loss. This is the case whether the seller knew about the breach or not.
Built for small businesses buyers and sellers, TLPE is a suite of products designed to cover contractual liabilities that result from a breach of a representation or warranty. By transferring risk to the insurer, TLPE can be used to enhance buyer offers, give comfort to the buyer and seller, reduce credit risk for the buyer, help the seller avoid an escrow or holdback and ease negotiations.
