Alliance Risk distinguishes umbrella coverage, which it says can broaden protection to some claims not in the underlying policy, from excess coverage, which strictly follows the underlying policy's terms and only extends its limits; both exclude claims already excluded by the underlying policy, first-party property damage, workers' compensation claims and intentional or criminal acts. ¹Company-reportedUmbrella & Excess Liability Insurance page, "What Is" and "What Does/Doesn't Cover" sections; the issued policy and declarations control actual terms.

Alliance Risk describes umbrella/excess limits typically starting at $1M and extending to $25M or more, with indicative annual costs of $500–$1,500 for a $1M policy at a small business up to $10,000+ for large or high-risk operations. ¹Company-reportedUmbrella & Excess Liability Insurance page, cost section; illustrative ranges, not a specific quote.
