# Insurance for Professional Services

Insurance for consultants, accountants, and agencies: E&O for the work you bill for, cyber for client data, and EPL as you grow.

## Insurance for professional services

Professional services firms sell expertise. Their coverage stack starts with E&O, then layers in cyber for the client data they hold and EPL once headcount grows. Simple in shape, specific in fit.

## The coverage stack we build

The lines we most often assemble for professional firms. Each is placed only where your work requires it.

## Common claim scenarios

Representative situations these lines respond to. Illustrative, not a guarantee of coverage.

## How it works

1. **Tell us about your operation**, Share what your business does, your revenue band, and the contracts or clients driving the need. This sets the exposures an underwriter will price.
2. **We market your risk to carriers**, Our agents take your profile to the carrier panel that writes this line, then compare terms, limits, and exclusions side by side.
3. **Review quotes and choose limits**, You see the options in plain language: what each policy covers, where the gaps are, and how the limit and deductible change the premium.
4. **Bind coverage and get your documents**, Once you pick a quote, we bind the policy and send your certificate and policy documents, usually within one business day.
5. **Manage renewals and changes**, As your business changes, we adjust limits, add endorsements, and handle the renewal so coverage keeps pace with your exposure.

## Frequently asked questions

### I am a small firm. Do I really need E&O?

Often yes. A single engagement gone wrong can produce a claim larger than a small firm can absorb, and many clients now require E&O in the contract.

### Does general liability cover a mistake in my work?

No. General liability responds to bodily injury and property damage. A claim that your advice or deliverable was wrong sits with E&O.

### How quickly can you get me a quote?

Most quotes come back within 2 to 5 business days once we have the basics: business name, state, headcount, revenue, the lines you think you need, and any prior claims. Specialty placements can take longer; we will flag that up front.

### Do you place coverage in every state?

Yes for the major P&C lines. Some specialty lines have state restrictions and we will flag them at quote time.
