Customized technology insurance

Professional liability insurance

Professional liability insurance (errors and omissions insurance) protects your business if there’s ever a discrepancy between the services you provide and your client’s expectations. Understanding the specific risks you face as an IT business, we can customize this insurance by adding $200,000 of software copyright infringement coverage to most of our IT insurance policies.

General liability insurance

All technology service providers should seriously consider general liability coverage. It protects you from third-party claims arising from bodily injury (slips and falls), personal injury ( libel or slander), and damage to someone else’s property.

Business owner insurance
