How consulting liability insurance can help protect your business

Consultant liability insurance can help cover costs if you’re accused of causing an injury or damaging property, or if someone says that your work mistake caused a financial loss.

Consultants often purchase these two types of insurance for liability coverage:

Professional Liability insurance for consultants

Professional liability insurance, also known as errors and omissions insurance (E&O insurance), can help shield you if you’re accused of making a professional mistake — whether it’s true or not.

Coverage from your insurance company could help defend your business if a client sues you for damages.

General Liability insurance for consultants

A general liability insurance policy can help protect you from expenses related to accidental damage to property you don’t own or an injury to someone who’s not an employee.

This type of liability insurance could provide financial help for medical payments, legal fees and judgments.

Other important business insurance coverage for consultants

In addition to professional liability insurance and general liability insurance we also offer:
Workers' Compensation Insurance
Workers’ Compensation insurance for consultants

A workers’ comp insurance policy can help make work-related accidents and injuries easier. Coverage can help pay for medical bills, lost wages while recuperating and more.

It is required in most states if you have employees.

Learn more about workers’ comp insurance.

Commercial Auto Insurance
Commercial Auto insurance for consultants

If you own or drive a vehicle for work, personal auto insurance doesn’t usually provide coverage if, say, you cause a collision on the way to a client’s office.

Most states require a commercial auto insurance policy for business-owned vehicles to help pay for medical expenses and property damage after an accident.

Learn more about commercial auto insurance.

Commercial Property Insurance
Commercial Property insurance for consultants

Commercial property insurance for consultants can help protect business equipment, inventory and furniture. If your business property is damaged due to a covered event, such as a burst water pipe or fire, property insurance can help with replacement costs or repairs.

I am so excited
I am totally excited about my new insurance for my small business. I am happy that the price was in a range that I can afford, the terms were easy to understand and it was so simple to purchase my first policy. I look forward to doing business with you in the future.
Curzella J.
Easiest insurance purchase – EVER!
I was looking around trying to compare insurance and I am so lucky I found NEXT. I was able to compare levels of coverage, and all the options, without pressure from a salesperson or time limits. I was able to check out prices and it was more coverage for less than the “traditional” company I looked at.
Michael W.
Happy small business owner!
I needed liability insurance for my new small business brick & mortar location. I got the run around from another company, but NEXT provided a competitive insurance quote in a timely manner. I now have the insurance that I need and it was stress-free!
