Basic Business Insurance

• General liability insurance – Small businesses need general liability insurance. It’s a basic liability protection that guards against things like accidents, injuries, property damage and lawsuits.
• Commercial auto insurance – If you use vehicles for work, you’ll need commercial auto insurance to be fully covered. Personal policies don’t usually cover work related incidents.

Additional Options for Growing Businesses

• Property – This can protect your commercial buildings and most of your personal property. Both of which are not covered by liability insurance. Liability normally covers other people’s assets, not yours.
• Business income interruption – If your policy includes coverage for property, you also have protection from business interruption; if you have a property claim that prevents you from operating your business, business income interruption coverage could help pay you for your lost income, employee salaries and rent expenses.
• Professional liability – Do you give professional advice or provide a professional service? If so, you should probably carry professional liability insurance.
