Protection shaped around business consultants
Business consultant insurance for professional liability, general liability, BOP, cyber, workers compensation, HNOA, and other coverage needs tied to advice, contracts, data, employees, and client work. Cox & Associates helps organize coverage around the way your operation actually works.
Risks to review
- Alleged errors, omissions, missed deliverables, or advice that causes a client financial harm
- Client meetings, training, office premises, travel, and accidental third-party injury or property damage
- Sensitive client or employee information, cyber incidents, social engineering, and interrupted systems
Coverage to consider
- Professional Liability (E&O)
- General Liability or a Business Owner's Policy
- Cyber Liability, Workers' Compensation, HNOA, and Umbrella where appropriate
Consulting risk and contractsBusiness consultant insurance should separate professional advice from ordinary business liability.
Consultants can be sued over recommendations, project scope, missed deliverables, implementation advice, training, or an alleged failure to achieve a contracted result. Professional Liability (E&O) addresses a different category of allegations than General Liability, which is why the two should be reviewed separately.
Before quoting, organize the exact consulting services, client industries, annual revenue, largest engagement, contract requirements, prior claims or disputes, employee count, office exposure, travel, and the type of client data handled. Eligible consultants can continue into the online professional-liability quote path and purchase available coverage digitally.
