Transforming Risk into an Advantage with Business Insurance

Business insurance coverage is critical to protecting your company from risks, including property loss and repairing or replacing property, such as after a fire, storm or theft. Business insurance can help cover the costs of legal claims made against your business and can help cover an injured worker's lost wages. Without insurance, a significant loss could be devastating to the livelihood of your business. Some states also require businesses hold certain types of insurance coverages in order to legally operate there.

Workers compensation insurance can help protect both you and your employees after a work-related injury. General liability insurance can help protect your company in the event that someone makes a claim against it. Management and professional liability insurance can help protect you from a range of risks, from Errors & Omissions to Cyber Risk.

For small businesses, a Business Owner's Policy, also known as BOP insurance, combines three critical coverages – Commercial General Liability, Commercial Property, and Business Income and Extra Expense coverage – into one convenient policy.

How much business insurance costs your business depends on a number of factors, including the specific types of insurance you need and the coverage limits you choose. These are determined by the specific risks your business faces, based on your industry, location, size and other attributes unique to the business you operate and its exposures. Operating overseas, for example, might indicate the need for international insurance to help cover foreign exposures. It's important to protect your company with business insurance coverage that reflects the risks and unique exposures that your organization faces. This is why it is important to engage an insurance professional with experience covering your business type to help you tailor a business insurance solution to your company.
