Professional liability for Moore service businesses
What errors-and-omissions coverage costs at the 2026 median, which Moore businesses need it, and how claims-made policies actually work.
Professional liability for Moore service businesses runs against a $88 monthly national median, priced on revenue and specialty.
Moore, Idaho has about 175 residents, and carriers price its businesses on trade, payroll and revenue rather than on the town itself.
Small businesses in Moore compare against a national median of $45 a month for general liability - $538 a year in 2026 policy data.
If your product is advice, analysis, design or code, general liability does not cover your real risk - a client alleging your work cost them money. That is professional liability's job, at a national median of $88 a month, priced on revenue and specialty.
E&O claims are slow-burn: work delivered this year gets disputed next year. Policies are claims-made, meaning coverage must be active both when the work happened and when the claim lands - one reason owners keep it running between contracts rather than switching it off. Median cost: $88 a month.

Common questions
Does an LLC need insurance too?
Yes - the LLC protects your personal assets from business liabilities, but the business's own assets stay exposed. Insurance pays claims; the LLC just keeps them away from your house. Most owners carry both.
What is the difference between general liability and a BOP?
General liability covers harm you cause to others - injuries and property damage. A business owner's policy (BOP) adds coverage for your own property - gear, inventory, premises - plus business interruption, at a median $83 versus $45 per month.
Are online quotes as accurate as an agent's?
They are built from the same underwriting inputs - trade, payroll, revenue, location, claims. The price is bindable, not an estimate. What an agent adds is judgment on coverage shape, which matters most for unusual or high-risk operations.
Can I be paying for the wrong class code?
Yes, and it is common: class codes are assigned from your business description, and a vague description lands in a pricier class. Reviewing the code on your declarations page against what you actually do is a five-minute check that owners skip.
How much is general liability insurance for a small business?
The 2026 national median is $45 per month, or about $538 per year, based on published policy data from over 100,000 small businesses. Low-risk desk businesses often pay less; trades with site work pay more.
