Sell more insurance faster
ERGO NEXT offers coverage you can customize based on your clients' needs. Plus, we offer up to a 10% savings when you bundle two or more policies.
Business Owner’s Policy
A business owner's policy (BOP) combines liability and property coverage in one convenient policy. It's a great option for protecting your client's business if they have equipment, inventory, a physical location or even a home-based business.
General Liability
Accidentally damaged customer property? General liability insurance can make those uh-oh moments okay by covering a wide range of incidents and basic risks. Contractors and cleaners can add tools and equipment coverage to protect their gear, as well.
Umbrella/Excess Liability
Commercial umbrella/excess liability insurance can add more protection to your ERGO NEXT general liability policy to increase your limit to $2 million. It can also be a requirement for work contracts or a commercial lease.
Professional Liability/E&O
If you're accused of making a professional error at work, we've got your back. Get professional liability insurance (sometimes known as errors & omissions insurance) and you'll be protected from certain types of lawsuits and claims.
Workers’ Compensation
If you have employees, workers' comp is mandatory in almost every state to help cover medical bills and lost wages if a workplace accident occurs. And don't forget about the boss — add business owner's coverage to protect yourself as well.
Tools & Equipment
Add a tools and equipment upgrade to your general liability insurance. If your gear ever gets damaged or stolen, we'll be there to abracadabra them back in a flash.

ERGO NEXT Insurance has a Financial Strength Rating of A+ (Superior) by AM Best. The rating reflects ERGO NEXT’s inclusion as a member of the lead rating unit, Munich Reinsurance Company (Munich Re).
