Professional Liability Insurance for IT Consultants 

Professional Liability insurance is often essential for small businesses that provide their clients with professional services or advice. This type of policy helps protect IT Consultants against claims of financial loss related to the advice, recommendations, or service they provide.

A Professional Liability insurance policy can help shield IT Consultants against claims of negligence, bad advice, missed deadlines, and other common risks resulting from the services they provide.

The IT world changes fast. If you accidentally give a client outdated advice or provide software code with errors, you could be left open to a lawsuit or claim. Your Professional Liability policy helps protect you by covering defense costs and resulting damages that may incur as a result of your work.

General Liability Insurance for IT Consultants 

Professionals working as IT consultants are often required to have a General Liability policy in place before they can start working with a customer. It is the most basic form of business insurance that a business or individual should consider.

General Liability is designed to protect you against allegations of bodily injury or property damage made by a third party. It can cover related medical costs if a customer or other member of the public gets hurt or provide compensation if their property is damaged.

As an IT Consultant, you work closely with other people and may frequently enter clients’ offices or workspaces. Sooner or later, you may face a minor (or major) accident that is potentially costly. General Liability can be an important part of protecting your business assets.

Business Owner’s Policy for IT Consultants 

A Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) is an affordable and convenient way for IT Consultants to combine General Liability insurance with other types of coverage for their business. This may include protecting your business property (computers, equipment, etc.), business interruption protection, non-owned business auto liability, and more.

There are many common liabilities and unplanned events that could affect you as an IT Consultant. A Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) is a simple and efficient way to protect your business assets, so you can focus on your clients.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Professional Liability insurance for IT Consultants?

Professional Liability insurance is one way that many IT Consultants protect their business. These policies cover many types of professional wrongdoing, including:

  • Mistakes
  • Omissions
  • Undelivered services
  • Missed deadlines
  • Negligence
  • Breaches of contract

 

If your work as an IT Consultant causes a client to suffer a financial loss, you could be found liable. Your Professional Liability insurance policy pays your legal expenses resulting from a liability lawsuit. This includes attorney’s fees, miscellaneous court costs, settlements, and judgements.

Professional Liability insurance helps IT Consultants create a safety net for their small business. Rather than use your business finances (and possibly your personal savings) to defend yourself in court, your Professional Liability policy will cover these legal costs for you. This could save you thousands of dollars and potentially save your business from bankruptcy and closure.

Importantly, Professional Liability insurance for IT Consultants protects you against claims brought without merit, which can be just as expensive to defend against as claims that do.

How much does business insurance for IT Consultants cost?

No two IT Consultants are alike in the services they provide and the makeup of their business. The price of business insurance for IT Consultants can vary widely for this reason.

When applying for any type of business insurance, you will be asked questions about your business and activities to help determine what coverages you may need based on the risks you are likely to face.

Factors that may determine the cost of your business insurance include:

  • How much revenue your business produces
  • Your risk management procedures
  • Your claims history
  • How much coverage you want or need

 

These factors, along with others, help insurers calculate how much you can expect to pay for insurance (also known as premiums). Getting multiple quotes from different insurers is often a reliable way to understand how much you will pay for business insurance as an IT Consultant.

How does IT Consultant liability insurance protect your business?

IT Consultants regularly do work that puts them at professional risk. If a client loses money due to your professional advice or services you provide, you could be found liable for their losses. The resulting lawsuit could be expensive, especially if it drags on for weeks, months, or years.

This could be financially devastating for you and your business. Without insurance, you could be forced to spend your hard-earned business capital, as well as your personal savings, to defend yourself in court. You might even be forced to file for bankruptcy or have to close your business forever.

IT Consultant liability insurance, otherwise known as Professional Liability insurance, can help protect your finances during a liability lawsuit. These policies commonly cover your:

  • Cost of hiring an attorney
  • Document filing and other court costs
  • Settlements
  • Judgements ordered by the court

 

With Professional Liability insurance, you can defend your professional reputation with less worry that the lawsuit will drain your business and personal resources.

Professional Liability insurance also protects you against baseless claims. A liability claim made without merit can be expensive to clear up in court. A Professional Liability policy can help protect your finances and professional reputation against alleged and genuine accusations.

BizInsure has really come through for me on some really hard to place risks. Andrew takes the time to understand the risk and work through how we can make it work, rather than looking for ways to say no. Thank you for your help!

I have been shopping for business liability insurance for several months. I am happy to share that BizInsure ranked #1! The representatives were polite, patient, and empathetic. They accomplished what most companies struggle with achieving: they did what they said they were going to do, they were on time, and they had empathy. They delivered a policy for 25% less than the closest competetor, and even included $50k of cyber security at no additional cost! I only write reviews when I receive exceptional experiences- highly revommended; keep up the great service BizInsure!P.S. I own a professional referral service in Hawai'i and I am going to see if BizInsure offers an affiliate program.Aloha!

I had numerous conversations with several business insurance agents over a month's time. I also had several conversations confirming the policy inclusion/exclusions and asked many questions. My BizInsure agent was professional, knowledgeable and most important—detail oriented. Even after having an initial conversation a month earlier he knew and *remembered* all my personal/professional insurance needs. When I asked for additional information on the third call he was able to provide me with details very quickly. He was also VERY patient. That is a big plus in my opinion. It illustrated a high level of respect for my needs. I also found when I called back and asked to talk with the initial agent, the person who answered the call was able to get in contact quickly and my agent responded and returned the call within 5-10 minutes. The transaction was smooth, and I think it's a good sign should I ever need to make a claim. I highly recommend BizInsure.

The customer service provided by Jose was outstanding. He explained everything in a very clear/logical way and answered all of my questions. After providing all the information to obtain general liability insurance, Jose sent me the declaration page of the insurance for review. All of the information matched what I provided over the phone and there were no typos. The next day I called back to purchase the insurance which was easy and fast. Overall, my experience with BizInsure including the customer service by Jose exceeded my expectations.
