Which Computer Repair Insurance Coverages Do I Need?

If you own an accounting firm or operate out of a brick and mortar location, you should probably be carrying a Commercial Package Policy.

Much like a homeowner policy protects an owner’s house and personal possessions, a CPP protects a business owner’s buildings, property, and other business assets.

Typically, a Commercial Package for a CPA includes three basic coverages:

  1. General Liability

General Liability insurance is one of the most commonly-known coverages in the small business world. This coverage is important well beyond the world of accounts, and should generally be included in every small business insurance policy.

As an accounting firm, your general liability coverage will protect you against loss from risks including, but not limited to: lawsuits stemming from injuries or property damage caused by your business operations or lawsuits filed against your accounting firm for slander or libel (advertising injury), and the associated attorney fees, court costs, administrative costs and judgements resulting from the litigation process. 

      2. Commercial Property Insurance

 Commercial Property Insurance covers an accounting firm’s office, property, and assets in the unfortunate case of a loss or damages.

      3. Business Income Insurance

This coverage is designed to protect an accounting firm against any loss of income resulting from covered property damage. For example, if your accounting office was hit by a tornado, your Business Income Insurance coverage could help cover any loss of income suffered as a result of not being able to conduct business as usual during the recovery process.

There are many other options to consider when deciding on the specifics of your policy.

Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance

A typical accounting firm should carry all of the aforementioned coverages recommended for any small business (Commercial Property, General Liability, and Business Income).

While these coverages may be enough to protect certain businesses, CPAs should almost always also include a professional liability policy too. Also known as Errors and Omissions or E&O insurance, professional liability insurance covers accountants against mistakes made working with clients.

Because client financial information is so sensitive, it’s especially important for CPAs to carry E & O insurance to limit their legal liability in the unfortunate case of negligence or error. Depending on the unique exposure of your accounting firm, you may need additional coverages outside of E&O and a CPP.

Additional coverages you may want to consider in your policy include, but are not limited to:

  • Employment Practices Liability (EPLI): Protection against damages related to hiring, termination, sexual harassment and discrimination.
  • Workers Compensation Coverage: Protection against damages related to workplace injuries. Covers cost of medical bills, wage replacement and more for an injured employee.
  • Cyber Liability Coverage: Especially important if you store personally identifiable information (PII). Protects against data loss and covers costs related to restoration, legal liability, and extortion resulting from a data breach or cyber-attack.
  • Commercial Umbrella: Extended coverage designed to protect an accounting firm beyond the general aggregate limits of a base policy.
