Business insurance
E&O insurance
Errors and omissions insurance. Protects a business when a professional service it delivered is alleged to have caused a client loss.
Errors and omissions insurance, also called professional liability, covers financial harm a client suffers because of a mistake, oversight, or bad advice in your professional work. It responds to claims that general liability does not.
Several regulated professions expect proof of E&O before they will issue or renew a license, and clients increasingly ask for it in contracts. Carrying the right limit keeps both compliance and client requirements satisfied.
