Business Wire

NEXT Pro+ delivers higher limits, smarter pricing and faster quoting for 30+ professional services professions.

PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
NEXT Insurance, a leading digital insurtech company transforming small business insurance, today announced significant upgrades to its professional services offering.

NEXT Pro+ is a clear example of NEXT’s commitment to helping agents grow their business by giving them the ability to quickly deliver tailored coverage, while offering professional services clients stronger protection against lawsuits, cyberattacks and other risks.

Professional services is a broad category that includes business consultants and related professions, IT professionals, property managers, accountants, engineers, marketing business owners and m ore. There are more than 4.8 million small businesses in the category of Professional, Scientific and Technical Services, according to the 2025 Small Business Profile from the U.S. Small Business Administration.

NEXT launched NEXT Pro+ to better address the specific needs of these businesses — and the agents who serve them — with broader coverage, market-aligned pricing, higher limits and a simpler quote and purchase process. These upgrades also create new revenue opportunities for insurance agents appointed with NEXT, providing a simpler, faster way to bundle policies and deliver stronger protection at fairer prices.

“Professional services business owners are often underprotected, especially in critical areas like EPLI and cyber,” said Tim McDermott, Director of Insurance Product Management at NEXT Insurance. “With NEXT Pro+, our goal is to give agents and business owners simplified access to tailored and affordable coverage. This directly supports our mission to help small businesses thrive with access to the right protection.”

Here’s what’s new in NEXT Pro+:

Improved rates across key professional segments for Errors and Omissions coverage (also known as Professional Liability). More competitive pricing for more comprehensive coverage means agents can unlock higher earning potential on small accounts, and easier wins on big ones.
Smarter, faster quoting. 100% online process without underwriting delays help agents deliver coverage on the spot, closing deals in record time.
More broadly available Cyber Insurance coverage. In partnership with Tokio Marine HCC, cyber protection can now easily be added as an endorsement to Business Owners and General Liability policies. Coverage limits increased from $50K up to $250K with entry pricing starting at $45 a year.
Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) limits up to $250K. Higher limits better equip professional services businesses to manage employee-related claims like wrongful termination.
Hired and Non-Owned Auto Coverage (HNOA) up to $1M. Expanded limits enable SMBs to meet client certification requirements without overpaying and empower agents to cover all their clients’ needs in one place.

“With NEXT Pro+ upgrades, it’s easier for me to become a trusted advisor to my professional services clients and give them the peace of mind they need to feel confident in running their business," said Maria Weatherman, Insurance Manager at Tax Protection Plus Insurance Services. “Providing more tailored, affordable coverage not only helps me protect my clients, but it helps me grow my business through stronger relationships and more referrals.”

To learn more about NEXT Pro+, appointed NEXT agents can log into the agent portal to start quoting; new agents can get appointed.
