E&O insurance coverage for small businesses in Alberta
For small business owners and independent professionals throughout Wild Rose Country providing advice and services to their clients, errors and omissions (E&O) insurance is vital for safeguarding their finances and reputations.
Also called professional liability insurance, E&O insurance protects Alberta’s small businesses, entrepreneurs, and self-employed professionals from claims of negligence, mistakes, or inadequate work in their services.
Whether you conduct business in large cities like Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer and Lethbridge or in smaller centres such as Grande Prairie, St. Albert, Canmore, Banff and all places in between across Alberta, a customized E&O insurance policy is a critical part of your business’s risk management strategy.
What does it cover?
E&O insurance is designed to protect small business owners and professionals offering advice, services, or expertise to their clients. It provides financial support for business owners when their services lead to financial or reputational harm to their clients by covering the following:
- Allegations of professional negligence
- Errors or omissions related to your services or the advice you provide
- Failing to deliver a service as promised
- Allegations of professional misconduct
- Your media and advertising services that result in a client being sued for defamation
- Misrepresentation or making false statements
- Failing to fulfill your duty of care or breaching a contract
- Data breaches, privacy violations, or mishandling of confidential client information
- Claims of copyright or trademark infringement
- Failing to adhere to industry standards and best practices
How much does it cost?
Insurance providers determine what the annual premium of an E&O insurance policy is based on your business’s or profession’s details, including:
- Your location
- The industry you’re in and the services you offer
- The types and sizes of the clients you serve
- Your years of experience
- Your education, training, and certifications
- The number of employees you have (if applicable)
- Your annual and projected revenue
A basic E&O insurance policy with a $100,000 coverage limit costs approximately $250 annually for a small business in Alberta.
