Miscellaneous Errors & Omissions Program from Access E&S Insurance Services
Access E&S Insurance Services offers a flexible and competitive Miscellaneous Errors & Omissions (E&O) program designed specifically for retail insurance agents and brokers looking to place professional liability coverage for a wide range of non-traditional professions. As an experienced Excess & Surplus Lines Broker, Access E&S delivers customized solutions through various carrier partners, helping you secure coverage for your clients across multiple industries.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
This program is ideal for businesses that provide professional services but do not fall under more common E&O categories like accountants, lawyers, or architects. Common target classes include:
- Consultants (management, marketing, HR, education, etc.)
- Event planners and wedding coordinators
- Property managers and leasing agents
- Freelance professionals and independent contractors
- Training specialists and educational service providers
- Media and advertising professionals
The program is designed to help your clients manage liability exposures arising from professional mistakes, omissions, or perceived failures in delivering services. If you have a client offering advisory or consulting services without a standard E&O classification, this program may be the right fit.
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
Coverage terms and features vary by carrier but may include:
- Claims-made E&O coverage with optional retroactive dates
- Defense costs outside the limits (depending on carrier)
- Coverage for independent contractors and subcontractors
- Options for prior acts coverage

Access E&S works with multiple carriers to offer tailored solutions, ensuring you can meet the unique needs of niche clients in evolving industries.
Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums
Minimum premiums vary depending on the class of business, risk profile, and limits requested. Submissions typically require a completed application, detailed description of services, and any prior loss history.
