What Risks Do Career Coaches Face?
Here are a few examples of the risks career coaching businesses face that could end up hurting your business, reputation, and finances with costly claims:
- While lugging furniture into the office space you’re renting, your chair bangs and scuffs the wall. The landlord holds you financially responsible for repairs.
- A client visits your office for a coaching session, trips over a chair, falls, and sprains their ankle. They sue you to pay for their medical bills.
- You offered sound advice, but your client didn’t get the job or promotion they wanted. They claim that your coaching backfired on them and sue you.
Career coach insurance is designed to protect you from claims like these, including third-party lawsuits, legal fees, medical expenses, settlements, and more.
What Types of Insurance Do Career Coaches Need?
To properly shield your coaching business and finances from common claims, you need the following coverages:
- General Liability
- Professional Liability (aka Errors and Omissions)
- Products-Completed Operations
- Damage to Premises Rented to You
- Personal and Advertising Injury
Career coach insurance from Insurance Canopy shields your livelihood with the above coverages included in the base policy. But, if you need extra coverage, we make it super easy to compose the perfect policy with add-ons, like:
- Cyber Liability (Data Breach Coverage)
- Inland Marine (Equipment and Materials)
- Unlimited, free Additional Insureds
What Does Career Coach Insurance Cover?
Let’s explore the essential coverages career coaches need and what each is designed to cover.
General Liability Coverage
General liability coverage can pay for legal expenses, settlement costs, and damages arising from third-party bodily injury or property damage claims.
For example, during a coaching session, a client trips over an electrical cord in your office and breaks their wrist. They sue you to cover the medical bills. General liability insurance can shield you from paying thousands of dollars out of pocket.
Professional Liability / Errors and Omissions (E&O) Coverage
Career coaches need professional liability coverage to protect themselves from claims of negligence, errors, or omissions in their services. Professional liability is bundled alongside your general liability coverage with Insurance Canopy.
For example, you may give your clients great career advice on how to get a promotion. However, when your client implemented your advice, they got fired. The client sues you for the damages. Professional liability insurance can defend against legal and settlement fees if this happens.
Products-Completed Operations Coverage
This coverage can protect you if someone bought a product you recommended and it caused them injuries or property damage.
For example, you recommend a customer buying a bundle of 10 self-help books for additional resources. After ordering them, the client places them on a table and it collapses. They sue you for property damage.
This coverage can respond, and it’s included in your base policy with Insurance Canopy.
Cyber Liability Coverage
Cyber liability coverage, aka data breach protection, is an add-on coverage that protects you against financial losses from cyber-attacks, like data breaches, or ransomware attacks.
If you store or communicate sensitive client information online or on devices like phones or laptops, you need this coverage for risk management. It ensures preparedness and financial security in case of a data breach or other cybercrime.
Damage to Premises Rented to You
If you’re renting an office space for your career coaching services, you could be held responsible if it’s damaged. This is where damage to premises rented (aka fire legal liability) coverage comes into play.
For example, you light a candle and step out of your leased office space for a quick restroom break. The candle tips over and starts a fire, damaging the carpet. This coverage, which is included in our base policy, can help pay to repair or replace the property damage.
Personal and Advertising Injury
Personal and advertising injury is a coverage that can protect you from claims of defamation, copyright infringement, false advertising, and more. It’s included in our base career coach insurance policy.
Let’s say you create a new logo to promote your services. A competitor sees it, thinks you stole their logo and modified it, and sues you for copyright infringement. This coverage can protect you from expensive lawsuits, legal fees, and damages that could arise from these types of claims.
Equipment and Materials Coverage (Inland Marine)
Equipment and materials coverage, aka Inland Marine insurance, is add-on coverage designed to protect career coaches from financial losses caused by damaged or stolen business gear.
For example, if you’re meeting with a client at a coffee shop and they spill their 20 oz. latte all over your laptop and smartphone, tools and equipment coverage can cover the cost of replacing your devices.
Additional Insureds
Additional insureds are third parties who require you to add them to your policy due to their risk exposure from your business.
For instance, the office building where you lease space for coaching might require you to add them to your policy. This can protect them should someone get hurt in your office and sue them as well as you for their medical expenses.
You can add additional insureds to your career coach insurance policy at no charge either before checking out on your application or any time from your user dashboard.
