Understand what insurance an OPC actually needs (and which kinds are theatrical). Prepare for statutory audit if applicable. Run a clean year-end close that produces audit-ready financials and ITR-ready P&L without scramble. Year-end is the integration test.

Same shape as running the full test suite before a release — discovers what unit tests missed. Insurance is your error-handling layer. The premium is the cost of the try/catch block. Whether you need it depends on the failure modes you're protecting against — and the failure modes you actually face change as the business scales. D&O before first employee. Cyber before first 10,000 users. Professional indemnity before your first $10K consulting engagement.
