I needed a portable policy as a yoga instructor. I found this company in an online search. Called and got details from them, was quite surprised at how affordable... Read More it would be. Then when I was ready to make my purchase, I called again. Was explained to me that everything was done online, I told the lady on the phone I didn't want to make this kind of purchase online with no guidance. She was so helpful and kind and patient! Walked me thru every page of the form and honestly didn't take long at all. Hope I never need to use the policy but nice to know I have it.

Business consultant insurance includes professional liability and general liability in one policy, with flexible options for solo consultants and growing teams alike. Get the protection you need at a price you can afford, and get back to consulting confidently.
What Does Business Consulting Insurance Include?
We recommend these must-have coverages for your business consultant insurance policy to cover all of your bases.
Also called Errors and Omissions (E&O) or Professional Indemnity insurance, a professional liability policy for business consultants covers legal expenses related to work performance, like misplaced advice or a missed deadline.
This coverage allows you to breathe freely while offering your expert advice, knowing you’re covered in the case of accidental professional errors, accusations of negligence, or failure to provide services.
We protect you when
- A strategic planning error leads a client to invest in an ill-advised expansion, resulting in financial loss
- Misinterpretation of market data leads to misguided recommendations
An oversight in product management delays a client’s product launch
Best for
- Missteps in financial forecasting and business planning
- Errors in market analysis that lead to client financial loss
- Failure to anticipate/mitigate operational risks
General liability coverage covers common business consulting concerns, such as third-party property damage and bodily injury. It can also cover legal expenses for customer property damage or injury and may be required for signing a commercial lease.
Business consultants don’t often work in high-risk environments, but that doesn’t mean you’re accident-immune.
An unstable chair could collapse underneath a client in your office, causing minor injuries. While conducting a strategy meeting at a client’s business, you could accidentally knock over an expensive piece of equipment, causing significant damage.
We protect you when
- A client trips over a projector cable in your office and sustains minor injuries
- While setting up at a business expo, your consulting team accidentally damages the venue’s flooring
- A consultant accidentally spills coffee on a client’s laptop
Best for
- Medical expenses
- Client property damage
- Libel & advertising injuries
Additional insured coverage for business consultants extends your policy’s coverage to other parties who could be held liable for claims related to your consulting business’s operations, like a landlord or event organizer.
Without this coverage, they could face significant financial risk and legal costs, which can strain professional relationships and lead to costly disputes.
We protect you when
- You’re invited to speak at a business conference and the event organizer asks you to add them as an additional insured
- You partner with another consulting firm on a large project — your coverage can be extended to them as an additional insured
Best for
- Office space renters
- Public speakers / workshop facilitators
- Client site visits
Cyber liability coverage helps business consultants survive data breaches and cyberattacks. It can help pay for recovery expenses, client notification costs, and more.
Your clients rely on you to monitor their business operations. This leaves your consulting firm tasked with housing and protecting sensitive information in a digital landscape where no business is immune from cyber attacks, ransomware, and more.
We protect you when
- A ransomware attack encrypts your firm’s client records, demanding payment for access
- A hacker breaches your firm’s database and exposes sensitive client information
- Malware corrupts your firm’s systems, corrupting financial data and key files
Best for
- Data breaches involving client financial and personal information
- Cyberattacks disrupting daily operations
- Ransomware incidents affecting data and systems
- Theft of sensitive client data
Fidelity bonds offer financial compensation in cases where an employee steals from a client. If your employee engages in criminal acts against a client — such as theft, embezzlement, or forgery — you could face liability, leading to considerable financial losses. Clients might even require your business to have this coverage before hiring you.
We protect you when
- You authorize a team member to process a client’s electronic funds transfer, and they divert the money into their own account
- You send an employee to improve a client’s inventory system, and they steal valuable equipment like laptops or tablets.
Best for
- Contracts requiring a bond
- Businesses seeking to establish trust with their clients
As you take on bigger clients or grow your business, you may need more General and Professional Liability coverage. This add-on lets you raise your policy’s base coverage of $1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate to a $3 million aggregate limit.
Best for
- Fulfilling contractual requirements
- Meeting the coverage needs of large consulting firms
- Scaling sustainably with protection that matches your risks
Tools and equipment insurance for business consultants is all about protecting the essential gear you rely on daily — equipment like your laptop, servers, printers, and the specialized software you use to manage client information and perform financial analyses.
Imagine if your laptop, packed with sensitive client data, got stolen. Not only would replacing it be costly, but the impact on your business could be huge. Securing this coverage means you wouldn’t have to worry about those hefty costs or the potential chaos that could follow.
We protect you when
- Your work laptop is stolen during a business trip
- A fire breaks out in your office, damaging essential documents
- A printer is dropped while moving offices
Best for
- Protecting important business tools and supplies
Workers compensation for business consultants protects your employees in the event of work-related injuries or illness. It ensures that your best workers receive financial support for medical bills and lost wages, which subsequently drives more trust in your company.
Business consultants work in various environments and handle diverse tasks. Workers compensation is crucial for maintaining a safe work atmosphere and enhancing overall credibility and employee morale.
We protect you when
- An employee suffers a back injury from lifting heavy client files in the office
- An employee is injured in a car accident traveling to or from a client’s location
- An employee develops carpal tunnel syndrome from excessive typing during the workday
Best for
- Consulting firms with employees
