Professional Liability & E&O — coverage for what your expertise costs when something goes wrong.
If your business provides professional services, advice, or recommendations, general liability alone isn't enough. Professional liability — also called errors and omissions (E&O) — covers claims that arise when a client says your advice, service, or professional judgment caused them financial harm. For consultants, accountants, architects, IT firms, real estate professionals, and others, this is non-negotiable coverage.

Any business that sells expertise rather than (or in addition to) physical goods or labor should have professional liability coverage. General liability covers bodily injury and property damage — it does not cover financial harm caused by professional errors or advice. If your clients rely on your judgment, you need E&O.
