Many new business owners opt for what's known as a Business Owners Policy (BOP). This policy includes coverage designed specifically for small businesses.
A BOP typically covers three major items:
Businesses often need to carry more than one type of insurance, and your business' insurance needs may be highly individualized. A knowledgeable agent can help you find the right solutions. For some states, carrying insurance is a requirement. Requirements may also vary by the type of business you own and the number of employees; however, worker's compensation is required by law in most states, and highly recommended if not.
In addition to the BOP, you may need other types of small business insurance coverage based on the kind of work you do, the size of your company and your location. These could include:
As your business expands, you may outgrow the standard Business Owner's Policy and require more protection. It's a good idea to review your insurance coverage annually and determine if any additional policies would offer a more beneficial level of risk protection.
Business insurance can be adapted to your specific business needs. Recommended coverages often depend on the type of business you have and the risk protection your business will need to stay healthy and whole. At a minimum, you should carry business property and business liability insurance – this often comes in the core business owners policy, or BOP. If you've never shopped for a business policy, a Travelers agent can help you sort through the options and suggest policies that best fit your company. You can find an agent here.
Risks, and therefore coverage needs, certainly vary by industry. A knowledgeable insurance agent can discuss which coverages companies similar to yours might carry. You can also view recommended coverage for key industries here.
Your agent can suggest a liability coverage that is optimal, based on company size and industry. The key is to make sure you have enough coverage if something goes wrong. Make sure to talk openly with your agent about your needs, and the associated costs, to help you make the best decision for your business.
In a word, yes. Developing a strong professional relationship with an insurance agent will help you over the long term as your business grows. Choose to work with someone who understands the unique challenges of running a small business and takes time to understand your specific insurance needs. Your agent will help tailor your insurance policies to your company's needs and help make sure you're covered.
As a business owner, you should always feel comfortable with the amount of insurance you carry. Insurance can help you recover from events that would otherwise threaten your company and reduce the likelihood of staying in business. The key is to ensure you understand the true value to repair or replace what you have. When customizing a policy, your agent should take your location, your industry risks and your personal risk tolerance into account.
