E&O Insurance (Errors & Omissions Insurance)
What is E&O Insurance?
E&O insurance, also known as Professional Liability Insurance, is a risk protection solution tailored for businesses and individuals who provide professional services or advice. When a business faces client claims due to mistakes, negligence, delays, or failure to deliver on promises during the service process, E&O insurance covers legal defense costs, settlements, and related expenses.
Whether the allegations are true or not, it helps you avoid high costs arising from legal disputes, allowing you to focus on your business development with peace of mind.
E&O insurance is suitable for all industries that require providing professional advice or technical services to clients, including but not limited to:
-
Insurance Agents / Brokers
-
Real Estate Agents / Property Management Companies
-
Financial Advisors / Accounting Firms
-
Consultants / Training Institutions
-
Architects / Engineers / Designers
-
IT Services & Software Developers
