What is errors and omissions insurance?

Accusations of negligence or the failure to perform your professional services are things that any professional services business can be sued for, even if it hasn't made a mistake.

You should seriously consider E & O insurance if your business:

  • provides a professional service.
  • regularly gives advice.
  • is required by its clients to have E & O insurance.

We specialize in errors and omissions insurance (E & O insurance), also known as professional liability insurance. If you have a professional services business with 10 employees or less, having errors and omissions insurance coverage can be an integral part of protecting your business.
