How Much Coverage Do I Need?
Most businesses carry $1 million to $5 million in Errors & Omissions (E&O) coverage, but the right amount depends on your industry, annual revenue, client contracts, and risk exposure. A common rule of thumb is to buy coverage equal to 5–10% of annual revenue.
Key Considerations for E&O Coverage
1. Industry & Risk Profile
High-risk professions (consultants, financial advisors, IT providers, healthcare, real estate) often need higher limits.
Lower-risk businesses (small retail, light service providers) may get by with lower coverage.
2. Client Contracts
Many contracts require minimum E&O coverage (often $1M per claim).
Larger clients may demand higher limits, especially in tech, finance, or healthcare.
3. Annual Revenue
Rule of thumb: 5–10% of annual revenue as coverage.
Example: $2M annual revenue → $100K–$200K minimum coverage.
Higher revenue = higher liability exposure.
