What Coverages Do I Need for Business Consultant Insurance?

You can customize your insurance plan to create the best consulting insurance policy for your specific business. Adding additional coverages, such as professional liability insurance, can help protect you from lawsuits that claim you’ve made a mistake. If you’re looking for basic coverage, most small business consultants start with a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP). This combines three important coverages into one, including:
 
  • General liability insurance, which helps protect your business from claims of bodily injury and property damage. This liability coverage can help pay for your legal defense and client’s medical care.
  • Commercial property insurance for help covering your business and its physical assets. It helps pay for repairs and replacement of your property from damages caused by fire, theft or other covered losses.
  • Business income insurance, which helps replace income you lose if you can’t open for a certain amount of time after a covered loss.

Covering Your Consulting Company’s Operations

Business owners automatically become more susceptible to risks. From customer injuries to client complaints, lawsuits can be extremely expensive – and can even cost you your business. We know the challenges you face, and we’ve created unique coverage for consultants to keep you protected.
