Running a business is exciting, but it comes with risks.
From unexpected accidents to lawsuits or property damage, having the right insurance can save your business from financial disaster. But with so many options, how do you know which types of coverage you really need—and which ones you can skip?
Quick Tip
Review your policies annually. As your business grows, so do your risks.
1. General Liability Insurance (Non-Negotiable)
Think of this as your first line of defense. General liability protects you if:
A customer slips and falls in your office.
You accidentally damage a client’s property.
Someone sues over an injury related to your business.
2. Commercial Property Insurance
Even if you rent your office, this is key. Property insurance covers:
Damage from fire, theft, or vandalism.
Business equipment like computers, furniture, and inventory.
Repairs or replacement if a covered event occurs.
3. Business Interruption Insurance
What happens if a fire, storm, or other event forces you to close temporarily? This coverage can:
Replace lost income.
Cover operating expenses while your doors are closed.
4. Workers’ Compensation Insurance
Required in most states, this protects both you and your employees:
Covers medical bills for work-related injuries.
Protects you from costly lawsuits.
5. Commercial Auto Insurance (If You Drive for Business)
Your personal auto policy likely won’t cover business-related accidents. If your business uses vehicles for deliveries, service calls, or transportation, this policy is essential.
Insurance may not be glamorous, but it’s the safety net that allows your business to grow without fear. A quick conversation with a trusted agent can help you avoid costly mistakes—and sleep better at night.
