CFC vs Travelers Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance

CFC sells professional errors & omissions as a modular package policy it calls "Professional services" (branded on the brochure as "Miscellaneous professional liability"), which pairs E&O with optional general liability, property and cyber add-ons rather than selling E&O alone. ^5,6Company-reported. Professional liability product page's "Professional services" tile and the miscellaneous professional liability brochure.

Travelers underwrites errors and omissions insurance as one of several management and professional liability products, sold as a standalone policy written for the buyer's profession rather than bundled with other lines by default. ^11,12Company-reported. E&O and management-liability product pages, as read on 2026-09-23.

The reviewed professional liability page and brochure describe CFC as the policy designer and point of contact but do not name the insurer that carries the risk for this product. ^5,6Not publicly disclosed. Professional liability product page and professions brochure as read on 2026-09-23. CFC's own materials describe it as an underwriting manager rather than a risk-bearing insurer, so a specific carrier for this product would need to come from the quote or declarations.

The E&O page's footer names Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America and its property-casualty affiliates, but Travelers also states the material does not amend any issued policy, so the exact issuing entity for a given E&O product depends on the policy. ¹¹Company-reported. Footer disclosure on the errors-and-omissions page.

CFC says it favors business, educational, environmental, food, HR, market-research, quality-assurance, security and traffic consultants, event organisers, freight brokers, loss adjusters, private investigators and trade associations, and ordinarily declines debt collectors, financial advisors, health and safety consultants, insurance agents, lawyers, mortgage brokers, pre-purchase home inspectors, stockbrokers, tour operators and valuers. ⁶Company-reported. Brochure's "What we love" and "What we ordinarily decline" lists; actual acceptance depends on individual underwriting.

Travelers offers separate E&O products by profession, including accountants, design professionals, lawyers, real estate professionals, insurance professionals, life/accident/health insurance agents, managed care organizations, financial institutions and a miscellaneous professional liability option for other client-facing professionals. ¹¹Company-reported. Product-selection list on the E&O page.

CFC says the E&O cover includes breach of contract, bodily injury, property damage, vicarious liability of subcontractors, IP infringement, pollution liability, libel, slander, defamation, document loss and withheld fees, with worldwide legal cover. ⁶Company-reported. Brochure's "Comprehensive errors & omissions cover" and "Comprehensive legal cover" sections; exact wording and exclusions are set by the policy as issued.

Businesses can add a separate commercial general liability limit, property, and cyber and privacy liability to the E&O policy, plus optional umbrella liability that sits over the E&O and CGL layers. ⁶Company-reported. Brochure's "Modular package policy" and "Umbrella liability" sections; availability depends on underwriting.

Travelers describes E&O as covering the costs of client allegations of inadequate work, negligent actions or failure to meet the expected level of service, including legal defense and settlement costs, and says coverage can be customized to the risks of a specific profession. ¹¹Company-reported. E&O overview and video transcript; exclusions and limits are not detailed on this page and depend on the policy as issued.

CFC's brochure lists maximum limits of $10,000,000 for E&O, $6,000,000 for CGL and $5,000,000 for umbrella, with a $0 minimum deductible, minimum premiums starting at $475-$500 depending on the coverage part, and no revenue threshold for eligibility. ⁶Company-reported. Brochure's "Limits, deductibles, premiums, revenue threshold" section; the terms actually issued depend on underwriting.

The reviewed E&O page does not publish limit or retention amounts for any of its professional-liability products. ¹¹Not publicly disclosed. Errors-and-omissions page as read on 2026-09-23.

CFC publishes a dedicated application form for this policy and also says its professional liability class can be traded directly through its Connect platform or through named API partners, in addition to the standard broker-submitted application. ⁵Company-reported. Professional liability product page's downloads and "Digitally traded" sections; not confirmed specifically for the professions/miscellaneous professional liability product versus the class as a whole.

Travelers directs buyers to talk to an independent agent to place E&O coverage, and tells agents to use its management-and-professional-liability applications and forms library. ^11,12Company-reported. E&O page CTA and video transcript.

CFC lists a named Claims Manager for Professions on its claims team, indicating professional-liability claims are routed to a dedicated professions unit rather than a generalist adjuster. ⁷Company-reported. CFC's claims page team listing; the page does not publish claim volumes or turnaround times specific to this product.
