What types of business insurance do executive coaches need?
These insurance policies cover the most common risks of executive coaching.
Business owner’s policy
A business owner's policy, or BOP, is a cost-effective way for executive coaches to buy general liability coverage and commercial property insurance together.
- Customer injuries
- Stolen or damaged business property
- Business interruption incidents
General liability insurance
This policy covers basic risks of executive coaching, such as a trainee injury during a coaching session. Bundle it with property insurance for savings in a business owner’s policy.
- Slip-and-fall accidents
- Damaged customer property
- Lawsuits over a social media post
Professional liability insurance
This policy helps cover legal defense costs if an executive coach is sued for professional negligence or a mistake. It's sometimes referred to as errors and omissions insurance (E&O).
- Advice that leads to a workplace conflict
- Failure to deliver promised results
- Coaching mistakes or oversights
Workers’ compensation insurance
Most states require workers' comp for executive coaching businesses that have employees. It also protects sole proprietors from work injury costs that health insurance might deny.
- Employee medical expenses
- Disability benefits
- Employee injury lawsuits
Commercial auto insurance
Commercial auto insurance covers financial losses when an executive coach's vehicle is involved in an accident. It's usually required for vehicles registered to a business.
- Property damage caused by your vehicle
- Bodily injuries from an auto accident
- Vehicle theft and vandalism
Cyber insurance
Cyber liability insurance helps executive coaches recover from data breaches and cyberattacks. It's strongly recommended for any business that handles credit card numbers or other sensitive information.
- Customer notification costs
- Data breach investigations
- Fraud monitoring services
How much does insurance cost for professional service businesses?
An executive coach who works independently will pay less for insurance than a larger company.
Factors that affect professional services premiums include:
- Professional services offered, such as business or life coaching services

- Business income
- Types of insurance purchased
