Common Business Insurance Questions
What is business insurance?
Business insurance is not a single policy like auto or home insurance. It is a marketplace of numerous plans, each designed to apply to unique assets and liabilities within a given company. Coverage will protect your company from the financial ramifications of numerous perils that could both damage the business and cause a drop in income.
With the help of your agent, you can determine which plans are best for your commercial interests, and tailor them so that they provide you maximum protection.
When do I need business insurance?
Any business owner who values their business’s long-term security and stability needs insurance from the moment they open their doors. The right benefits can ensure that you receive financial help for numerous problems, so that you won’t have to pay out critical revenue during your recovery. Your company will be able to weather unexpected challenges that could be very financially burdensome.
What does business insurance cover?
- Most businesses need quite a few different insurance options. Commonly purchased benefits include:
- Property Insurance: If something damages physical property – such as your building or possessions - then this coverage can help you repair or replace them.
- General Liability Insurance: This covers the business in the event it causes property damage or bodily injuries to another party, like a client or vendor.
- Business Interruption Insurance: This helps you pay the bills if you must temporarily close after a damaging accident.
- Commercial Auto Insurance: When the company owns vehicles, this coverage will provide the requisite physical damage, liability and other benefits to help the company afford the costs of wrecks or other vehicle hazards.
- Workers Compensation Insurance: If an employee gets hurt on the job, they are often eligible for workers compensation coverage. It will provide them supplementary income during their recovery.
- Errors & Omissions Insurance: Professional advice or mistakes could cause clients a financial loss. This coverage can compensate them on behalf of the business.
- Surety Bonds: If you are contractually obligated to certain clients, then bonds will guarantee them that you will repay them if you cannot meet your obligations.
