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

Choose a Claims-Made or Occurrence Form

Mylo explains both claims-made and occurrence E&O, including tail coverage after a claims-made policy ends. Beazley’s MediaTech form is claims-made-and-reported, with an Optional Extension Period rather than a choice of form. If you need occurrence coverage, ask Mylo which quotes offer it; Beazley’s sample form does not describe that option. [7] [2]

  • Request the carrier, policy form and claims contact for the actual Mylo quote. [7]
  • Confirm your profession fits MediaTech and check how its aggregate is shared across coverage lines. [2]

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 ↗

Mylo

  • role: Mylo brokers professional liability insurance by comparing quotes from multiple business insurance companies rather than underwriting the policy itself. Professional liability product page.company-reportedSource ↗
  • eligibility: Mylo markets this line to businesses that could face a claim from a client unhappy with their professional services, using examples spanning app development, financial planning and beauty-salon services. Product page examples; a particular business's eligibility depends on underwriting.company-reportedSource ↗
  • coverage: Mylo describes the policy responding to breach-of-contract claims, bodily injury or property damage claims, financial-loss claims, and consequential-damages claims arising from a client relationship. Product page coverage descriptions; actual insuring agreements and exclusions are set by the issued policy.company-reportedSource ↗
  • coverage: Mylo explains that professional liability comes in claims-made and occurrence forms, and that tail coverage can be added to a claims-made policy to extend reporting after it ends. Product page FAQ; which form and tail terms are offered depends on the placed carrier.company-reportedSource ↗
  • insurer: The professional liability product page and Mylo's carrier-contact directory do not name the insurer that would issue a professional liability policy; the directory groups carriers under generic Auto & Home and Business categories only. Checked the professional liability product page and the carrier-contact directory on 2026-09-23; neither ties a named carrier to this line.not-disclosedSource ↗Source ↗
  • application: Mylo says it recommends coverage customized to the business and compares professional liability quotes from top-rated business insurance companies to find a combination of coverage and price. Product page "How will Mylo find me the right policy?" section.company-reportedSource ↗
  • claims: Mylo's carrier-contact page lists claims phone numbers by carrier for Auto & Home and Business policies generally, but does not identify a professional-liability-specific claims contact or process. Carrier-contact directory checked 2026-09-23; entries are organized by carrier and general product category, not by coverage line.not-foundSource ↗
