CFC vs Vouch 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.

Vouch is a broker, not an insurer, for professional errors & omissions coverage. It lists Errors & Omissions among the core coverages it places for professional-services clients, and one of its named program partners, Corix, has a dedicated E&O product. ^12,13Company-reported. Vouch's Professional Services page and Corix's cyber/E&O product page.

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.

Corix's disclosures say its proprietary products, including its E&O line, are issued by State National Insurance Company or United Specialty Insurance Company. That names an insurer for Corix-branded E&O products specifically, not for every Vouch professional-liability placement. ¹⁴Company-reported. Corix disclosures 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.

Vouch markets professional E&O to accounting and finance, architecture/engineering/construction, IT consulting, management consulting, and marketing and creative agency firms. ¹²Company-reported. Vouch's Professional Services page; not an underwriting appetite guarantee for any specific applicant.

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.

Corix describes E&O as protecting a business against claims of negligence, mistakes or inadequate work that cause a client financial loss in the provision of professional services, including legal defense costs and any damages awarded, even when the claim is ultimately groundless. ¹³Company-reported. Corix's cyber and E&O product page; actual insuring agreements and exclusions are set by the issued policy.

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.

Neither the Vouch nor Corix pages publish E&O policy limits or retentions. ^12,13Not publicly disclosed. Pages checked 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.

Corix's E&O product page offers a downloadable application and directs brokers to start an appointment process; Vouch's own site routes prospective buyers to its online "Get Started" application flow. ^13,12Company-reported. Corix product page and Vouch site navigation.

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.
