I looked around a lot for E&O insurance for my publishing business before landing on BizInsure. While I won't mention names here, let's just say that I looked at some "big" ones that didn't (or maybe couldn't) beat what I found here. It's also an easy and seamless application process. No surprises or fuzzy language. I'm very impressed...
BizInsure LLC is a good insurance; I really like the service and coverage.
Great insurance serviceing and customer service EXCEPT the web page does not show purchases. A one stop location for policies, addenda, etc AND past/current purchases is helpful instead of hunting for email receipts.
