Zurich describes E&O as part of modular Pro Plus, with admitted coverage available in most states; the reviewed record does not specify an online purchase flow. A buyer who values direct digital steps can start with Coverdash, while asking either provider who the issuing carrier will be. [2] [3] [8]

General Services Versus Named Classes

Zurich names technology, manufacturing, and third-party service providers for E&O. If your work falls into one of those specialist classes, ask whether the general form or a class-specific form applies. [2] [1] [8]
