As a consultant, clients seek out your expert advice and professional services, something which you have spent many hard-working hours of education and experience to achieve. That is why Professional Liability insurance (also known as Errors and Omission (E&O) insurance) is vital for consultants, providing protection against claims for financial damages by a client related to your services, actions or recommendations.

Professional Liability insurance covers your business against claims of unintentional negligence, misrepresentation or a mistake, by covering the cost of associated legal, settlement and judgment expenses of a claim, whether you are found liable or not.

A Professional Liability policy is different from General Liability insurance, with the main aim of the policy to protect your business from unintentionally misleading a client. General Liability insurance is designed to protect your business against third party bodily injury or property damage lawsuits from outside parties.

Premium pricing and even the terms of Professional Liability terms can vary between consultancy firms and the different kinds of services they provide. Consultancy businesses which pose a higher risk are going to attract a higher premium and vice versa.

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.

Great insurance company

Quick & Easy

Amy was GREAT! She explained my policy for me and assisted in helping me to choose the best option for the business services that I provide. The other insurance agents from other carries were not able to provide the type of coverage that I needed. PLUS it came as a packaged deal, I love that! Thanks again, Amy!

I had an excellent experience working with **BizInsure LLC** while securing coverage for my business. From start to finish, the process was smooth, professional, and very informative.

A special thank you to **Jazzmine**, who went above and beyond throughout the entire process. She was extremely helpful, patient, and incredibly business-savvy. Jazzmine took the time to explain the different coverage options in a way that was clear and easy to understand, making sure I selected the policy that best fit my company’s needs. She never rushed the conversation and answered every question thoroughly, which made the experience feel very supportive rather than transactional.

What I appreciated most was her professionalism and knowledge of business insurance. It was clear that she genuinely understood what business owners need and worked hard to make sure everything was handled correctly.

If you are a business owner looking for insurance and want someone who is knowledgeable, patient, and truly committed to helping you make the right decision, I highly recommend **BizInsure LLC**—and definitely ask for **Jazzmine**. She made the entire process seamless and stress-free.

Great service wrapped up on the same first call.

I was referred by a former insurance company that no longer provided the product/services that I required for my business. The process to insure my business at the same level was seamless and literally took a matter of minutes!

this sight was very user friendly and used wording in the policies for me to understand. They also was the only one out of 4 other companies that covered my mobile specimen collection business.

Amy R. was Amazing! Knowledgeable and helpful🙏

It was very easy to apply

Navigating very easy

GREAT JOB, DOING BUSINESS WAS JUST GREAT.

Bizinsure is an exceptional company. The customer service is excellent. The receptionists are very knowledgeable. The insurance agents are very professional.

Absolutely the easiest, absolutely the fastest, the best I can tell the lowest cost. For many businesses, Insurance is a dirty word, because it's complicated and we're actually so busy minding our business that when complicated insurance issues get in the way, it slows us down. But not with these guys. Biz Insure LLC has figured it out and thank goodness they have...

Great company to work with

I spoke with Alex, he was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.
