Professional Liability / E&O

Helps address claims related to mistakes, missed deadlines, negligence allegations, or professional advice.

Commercial Property

Helps protect business property such as inventory, furniture, computers, fixtures, and build-outs.

Workers' Compensation

Helps cover employee work-related injuries and is required in many situations depending on state law.

Product Liability

Helps address claims tied to products that allegedly cause injury, illness, damage, or loss.

Questions to ask before buying coverage

  • Which policies are required by client, landlord, venue, lender, or platform contracts?
  • Are employees, contractors, vehicles, job sites, or customer data part of the risk?
  • What limits, deductibles, exclusions, and certificates will a client expect?
  • Does the policy match your state, revenue, payroll, services, and claims history?
