How does business insurance protect business consultants?

Our small business consulting insurance packages are designed to protect your business from a variety of risks and help you save money to grow your business. You can be protected from financial losses related to:

Damage to someone’s property

You accidentally break an expensive photocopier while visiting a client. The general liability coverage in your insurance package could help pay for a replacement.**

Accidents that hurt someone

A client trips on your office’s front steps and injures their shoulder. Your general liability coverage could also come into play here by helping to pay for medical costs and legal fees.

Professional mistakes

You recommend business software that ends up having major security issues. Professional liability coverage for consulting businesses (also known as E&O insurance for business consultants) helps you defend yourself if you’re accused of making a mistake that causes someone to lose money.

Workplace injuries

You stumble and sprain your ankle while carrying supplies into a client’s office. Workers’ compensation coverage with business owner’s coverage can help cover medical bills and lost wages. Workers’ comp is usually required by law if you have employees.

Injuries and damage involving your business vehicles

You dent a nearby car when pulling out of a client’s parking lot. Commercial auto coverage will help pay for the repairs. This coverage is also usually required by law for business-owned vehicles.

Damage to your own property

Thieves break into and vandalize the office space you lease. Commercial property insurance can help with replacement or repair costs if your owned or leased property is damaged due to a covered event, such as a burst water pipe, fire or vandalism.

What insurance should I get if my work involves multiple types of consulting?

When you request your consulting insurance quote, you’ll answer some questions about your business activities — such as what percentage of your time is spent on each service — and we’ll base your consultant insurance policy on that information. We know that every business is a unique combination of services. That’s why we offer customized insurance packages that can be adjusted to fit your business needs. You’ll get the right coverage at an affordable price, and you can adjust it as your business changes.

Can I add an additional insured to my consulting insurance?

Yes. We know there is a common need for consultants to add an additional insured to their coverage, so we’ve given you the power to create certificates of insurance and add additional insureds for free, 24/7.
