Businesses that provide services rather than products should invest in professional liability coverage. Professional liability insurance covers you in the event of malpractice, mistakes, and negligence that can potentially lead to litigation. Like with product liability, the cost of coverage depends on the type of service being offered. If your business offers services or provide consultation then investing in professional liability insurance might be the right move for you.
