Do You Have The Business Insurance You Need?
  • If youre running a business, the last thing you
    want to worry about is whether or not you have
    enough insurance to pay your employees if theyre
    injured on the job, cover the cost of your stock
    and equipment if its damaged in a fire or even
    protect yourself from an accidental liability
    lawsuit from one of your customers. Without
    adequate business insurance, however, thats
    precisely what you have to worry about every day.

Business Liability Insurance
  • If youre starting a business, you may not know
    how to set up your insurance or where to start.
    Liability insurance helps protect you against
    potential lawsuits that could harm your finances
    or professional reputation. Be sure to get enough
    liability coverage so that if theres a lawsuit
    because of an accident caused by your
    companyeven one unrelated to your
    businessyoull have sufficient insurance
    protection in place to cover whatever costs are
    thrown at you.
  • Also, be sure that whatever coverage you have has
    an appropriate amount of liability limits while
    having too much liability is always wrong, having
    too little could jeopardize your entire financial
    future. Ensure you have suitable
    businessinsurance before beginning operations.
    Dont risk being held responsible for accidents,
    injury or theft incurred during regular business
    activities. Without proper precautions, most
    small businesses will go out of business within
    six months after their inception date! It doesnt
    matter whether your small business is based
    online or through physical office space.
  • At some point, somebody will be hurt on your
    property, somebodys stuff will disappear from
    under their eyes, and somebody might accidentally
    slip and fall on something they shouldnt have
    walked on or tripped over. With all these
    foreseeable problems with potential pitfalls
    associated with them, it pays to invest time and
    money into getting yourself organized correctly!
    Doing so can keep you safe from mishaps arising
    from negligence with your brand new venture.

Workplace Injury Coverage
  • If you own a physical business, you must have
    property damage liability coverage. Not only does
    your business have to worry about damage to its
    premises, but it also has to think about the
    damage done by its employees, contractors and
    customers. If someone gets hurt on your property
    or damaged, you could be liable for damages even
    if it wasnt your fault. Businesses are often
    subject to lawsuits no matter how careful they
    are because people are always looking to make
    money off of others mistakes.
  • Having property damage liability coverage ensures
    that if anyone files a lawsuit against your
    company for any reason, youll be able to cover
    their costs out of pocket, so you dont have to
    go through massive amounts of trouble with
    litigation. This coverage can help prevent huge
    cash flow problems within your business by
    enabling you to pay claims without disrupting
    income. Other types of businessinsurance are
    necessary, including product liability insurance
    which protects you from being sued if someone
    misuses one of your products and causes harm to
    themselves or others.
  • Business owners should also keep public liability
    insurance if someone gets injured at an event
    hosted by your business or because an employee
    causes harm outside of work hours. Another type
    of insurance, workers compensation, exists to
    protect both employers and employees if theres
    an accident at work or an employee becomes ill
    due to exposure at workthis prevents them from
    having to file a personal injury claim against
    you instead.

Property Damage Liability Coverage
  • In a perfect world, your business premises would
    never be damaged by fire or water leaks. In an
    ideal world, you wouldnt have to deal with
    costly lawsuits from customers who trip and fall
    in your storefront or from those who are injured
    on company property. But as we all know,
    businesses arent built in a perfect world. And
    thats why you need property damage liability
    coverage to protect your business against
    lawsuits filed by those who slip and fall or
    otherwise suffer an injury at your place of
    business. So whether you own or rent your
    business premises, its essential to make sure
    your building is covered for any accidental
    damage done by people inside.
  • Otherwise, someone can walk into your shop and
    knock over displays that cause the glass to
    shatter everywhereand cost thousands of dollars
    worth of damages. Are you responsible for paying
    out-of-pocket for damages if they occur due to no
    fault of yours? Not necessarily. Most business
    owners dont realize that their landlord is
    responsible for repairing most building
    damagesif they can show it was caused by normal
    wear and tear rather than willful neglect on
    their part.

Business Income Coverage
  • A reliable business income policy will protect
    your companys revenue stream if you get sued or
    have to close down due to unforeseen
    circumstances. Say, for example, youre in a
    situation where an employee is injured on the job
    and needs round-the-clock care. That care may
    cost thousands of dollars per day. And, if
    determined that your business was negligent for
    not having proper safety precautions in place,
    youll be liable for paying out of pocket until
    youve paid off what your workers comp insurance
    wont cover. However, if you have a business
    income policy, you can tap into additional funds
    so that both your employee and yourself are
    protected. Get started with a free quote here!

Why Business Insurance Needs for Your Business
  • Just like your family needs homeowners insurance,
    you need business insurance to protect your
    companys assets. If you own a small, home-based
    business, youll need basic liability
    coveragemainly if there are additional people
    who may use your property (like clients or
    contractors).
  • If anything were to happen on your
    propertywhether its damaged due to an act of
    nature or theft or vandalism caused by an
    employee or customerbusiness insurance can cover
    costs related to repairing damages and medical
    expenses of anyone injured. Some types of
    business ownership may also require additional
    coverage, so its essential to discuss with an
    agent what different options are available. A
    specialized agent can help you choose specific
    policies that fit your industry and budget.
