Professional Liability Insurance (Errors and Omissions Insurance): Essential for service-based businesses, it covers claims related to professional mistakes or negligence that result in financial loss for clients. This is particularly important for consultants, accountants, and other professionals.
Business Interruption Insurance: Also known as business income insurance, it covers lost income and operating expenses if a business is temporarily unable to operate due to a covered peril, like a natural disaster.
Cyber Liability Insurance: Protects against risks associated with cyberattacks and data breaches. It helps cover costs related to data recovery, customer notifications, and legal fees.
Commercial Auto Insurance: Provides coverage for vehicles used in the course of business, protecting against accidents, theft, or damage to vehicles and property.
Directors and Officers Liability Insurance: Covers the personal liability of directors and officers for decisions made in their official capacity. It protects against claims of mismanagement or wrongful acts.
Product Liability Insurance: Important for businesses that manufacture, distribute, or sell products. It covers claims related to product defects or failures that cause harm or damage.
Business Owners Policy (BOP): A bundled insurance package that typically combines general liability insurance with property insurance, and sometimes additional coverage options, offering comprehensive protection at a reduced cost.
