Beazley vs Corgi: Professional Liability / E&O Insurance

Service businesses wanting a catch-all E&O can approach Corgi, but expect a 1 to 14 day quote rather than instant. Beazley instead bundles E&O inside MediaTech with cyber and media, and its sample form leaves out licensed professions like architects.

Areas of coverage

Beazley

  • role: Beazley sells professional errors and omissions coverage bundled inside MediaTech, a single small-business form that also includes technology E&O, media liability and cyber coverage. It is not sold as a standalone professional-liability policy for this segment. US small-business MediaTech product page; does not address any larger-account professional liability program Beazley may write separately.company-reportedSource ↗
  • insurer: Beazley's posted Digital MediaTech Application names Beazley Insurance Company, Inc. as the insurer on its cover page. The actual issuing entity for a given policy is confirmed on the quote and declarations, not the blank application. Application form F00859, 042022 edition; not a regulator record and not evidence of the entity for every state or route.company-reportedSource ↗
  • coverage: The sample MediaTech form covers a Tech & Professional Services Wrongful Act: a negligent act, error, omission, misstatement or unintentional breach of contract in rendering Professional Services, defined as services performed for others for a fee. Sample policy form F00731, 022019 edition, insuring agreements and definitions; the issued policy's wording and any endorsements control.company-reportedSource ↗
  • coverage: The sample form's definition of Professional Services excludes services performed as an accountant, architect, surveyor, health care provider, lawyer, insurance or real estate agent or broker, or civil or structural engineer, so those licensed professions are not covered by this professional E&O trigger. Sample policy form F00731, 022019 edition, Professional Services definition; a business in one of these excluded professions would need different coverage even if it buys MediaTech.company-reportedSource ↗
  • limits: Coverage is claims-made and reported: it responds only to claims first made and reported during the policy period (or a purchased Optional Extension Period), and defense costs reduce the available limit. A buyer can purchase an Optional Extension Period (a tail) for additional premium after non-renewal or cancellation. Sample policy form F00731; application form repeats the same notice; specific tail pricing and duration are set in the declarations, not disclosed publicly.company-reportedSource ↗Source ↗
  • limits: Unless the declarations list a separate amount, each insuring agreement in the sample form (including the professional-liability trigger) shares the same Policy Aggregate Limit of Liability with the policy's media and cyber coverages rather than carrying its own dedicated limit. Sample policy form F00731, 022019 edition, Limit of Liability and Coverage section; actual sublimits depend on what is purchased and shown on the declarations.company-reportedSource ↗
  • application: Beazley's MediaTech application asks applicants to describe the professional and technology services they perform, disclose employee count and multi-year US and non-US revenue, and state whether written client contracts include scope-of-work, damages-cap and consequential-damages-disclaimer provisions. Application form F00859, 042022 edition, General Information, Revenue Information and Contractual Controls sections; a completed application does not establish acceptance.company-reportedSource ↗
  • claims: Beazley says its cyber and tech claims team, including experienced litigators, has handled thousands of E&O claims, which it describes as including implementation errors alongside software failures and IP disputes. MediaTech product page claims paragraph; outcome and volume figures are Beazley's own description and not independently verified.company-reportedSource ↗

Corgi

  • role: Corgi lists Miscellaneous E&O as a specialty coverage quoted with a 1-14 day turnaround, separate from its instant-quote Tech & AI Liability product and from its Real Estate E&O and Lawyer E&O products, which target specific professions. Homepage and startup-insurance page policy-card labeling as of 2026-09-23. No dedicated product page was found; direct URL guesses (/miscellaneous-errors-and-omissions, /misc-eo) returned 404s.company-reportedSource ↗Source ↗
  • coverage: Corgi describes Miscellaneous E&O as broad professional liability coverage for service-based businesses facing claims of negligence, errors, or failure to perform professional services, distinct from its named Tech E&O, Real Estate E&O, and Lawyer E&O products. One-sentence catalog description; no policy form, insuring agreement, exclusion, or claims-made/occurrence trigger is published for this line.company-reportedSource ↗Source ↗
  • eligibility: Corgi targets Miscellaneous E&O at service-based businesses generally, positioned as a catch-all for professional-liability exposure not covered by its technology-, real-estate-, or legal-specific E&O products. Catalog description; no industry, size, or state restrictions are published for this line.company-reportedSource ↗Source ↗
  • insurer: No page names the carrier that issues Miscellaneous E&O coverage. Corgi's general disclosures say coverage may be underwritten by affiliated carriers, including Technology Risk Retention Group, or by third-party partner carriers depending on product, jurisdiction, and risk profile, without identifying which applies to this line. Disclaimers page general underwriting disclosure, checked for a line-specific statement and finding none as of 2026-09-23.not-disclosedSource ↗
  • limits: No limit, retention, or illustrative policy structure is published for Miscellaneous E&O, unlike Corgi's Tech E&O and Umbrella pages, which show example limits. Reviewed pages as of 2026-09-23; limits would appear on an actual quote.not-disclosedSource ↗Source ↗
  • application: Miscellaneous E&O sits outside Corgi's instant-quote flow; the site groups it with policies quoted in 1-14 days rather than through the self-serve online application used for its core coverages. Homepage and startup-insurance page policy-card labeling.company-reportedSource ↗Source ↗
  • services: The reviewed pages do not describe risk-management or claims-handling services specific to Miscellaneous E&O policyholders. Homepage and startup-insurance page as read on 2026-09-23; general claims-handling disclosures on the disclaimers page are not specific to this line.not-foundSource ↗Source ↗

What Are the Key Differences Between Beazley and Corgi Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance?

Check Beazley’s Service Definition

Beazley’s sample MediaTech form excludes accountants, architects, healthcare providers, lawyers, insurance and real-estate agents, and civil or structural engineers from its Professional Services definition. Corgi describes Miscellaneous E&O for service businesses facing negligence, errors or failure-to-perform claims but does not publish a comparable policy form. If your profession is in Beazley’s excluded list, ask Corgi for its form and confirmation that your actual work qualifies. [2] [6]

Buying Process and Timing

Beazley sells E&O only inside MediaTech and asks for details about your services, employee count and revenue in its application. Corgi quotes Miscellaneous E&O on a 1-to-14-day specialty timeline, outside its instant quote flow. Choose based on whether you need a bundled policy and whether that timing works for your start date. [1] [4]

Identify the Insurer

Beazley’s application names Beazley Insurance Company, Inc.; Corgi’s disclosures say coverage may use an affiliated or partner carrier but do not say which applies to Miscellaneous E&O. Ask for the issuer and actual policy form from both. [1] [5]

What Should You Confirm in Beazley and Corgi Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance Quotes?

  • Ask Beazley whether your specific services fit the MediaTech definition. [2]
  • Ask Corgi for the Miscellaneous E&O form, exclusions and quote timeline. [6]
  • Get the actual insurer, limit, retention and premium from both. [1] [5]
  • Ask about the cost and duration of Beazley’s Optional Extension Period if the policy ends. [2]

Beazley’s sample MediaTech form excludes accountants, architects, healthcare providers and lawyers; Corgi describes Miscellaneous E&O for service businesses but publishes no comparable policy form.
