Professional liability insurance for small businesses in Calgary
Independent professionals, contractors, and small business owners across the Calgary Metropolitan Area – Downtown Calgary, Airdrie, Chestermere, Rocky View County, Beiseker, Cochrane, Crossfield, Irricana, Okotoks, High River, and Foothills County – who provide advice and services to their customers face significant professional liability risks.
That’s why professional liability insurance is essential regardless of the type of business you have, the industry you’re in, and the services you provide.
Also called errors and omissions (E&O) insurance, professional liability insurance is designed to cover your costs when facing customer claims alleging monetary losses resulting from your services due to professional negligence, misconduct, misrepresentation, or failing to deliver a service as promised. It also includes protection for the media and advertising services you provide your clients if legal action is taken against them, alleging defamation or false advertising.
A customized, low-cost professional liability insurance policy from Zensurance is a vital safeguard to protect your finances and reputation from expensive losses due to allegations of wrongdoing, errors, or lawsuits.
