The Types of Insurance Businesses Need

The Types of Insurance Businesses Need

There are many types of insurance coverage options for businesses small and large-and everything in between. Business insurance protects your company from different risks that can come up during everyday operations. However, there are several types of business insurance businesses need.

For instance, many business owners start with a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) for their small business insurance needs. It combines three essential coverages: general liability insurance, commercial property insurance, and business income insurance.

In addition, businesses can add other business insurance coverages to get more protection. For example, if your business provides a professional service to customers, get a professional liability policy.

That policy can help protect your business from claims that it made a mistake in the professional services given.

We also know this type of insurance as errors and omissions (E&O) insurance.

General liability insurance is also known as business or commercial liability insurance. This insurance protects your business from claims it caused bodily injury to a visitor or customer.

In addition, it covers claims of property damage to another person’s belongings.

Lastly, it covers claims of other personal injuries such as libel or slander.

Commercial property insurance protects your owned or rented building and the equipment you use to run your business. Consequently, you have coverage if a hurricane or fire damages your buildings, equipment, etc.

However, this insurance doesn’t cover damage from earthquakes or floods. You’ll have to get separate policies to cover flood and earthquake damages.

Other Types of Business Insurance

If you can’t run your business because of covered property damage, business interruption insurance can help replace your lost income. This is also called business income insurance.

You can use this coverage to help pay for fixed expenses, like rent, utility bills, property taxes, or payroll.

Commercial umbrella insurance increases coverage limits for some of your liability policies. Consequently, if a claim exceeds the limits on your policy, your umbrella insurance can help cover the difference.

Commercial umbrella insurance is not very expensive. Therefore, it is worth it to get that additional coverage to protect your business.

Many states require businesses to get workers’ compensation insurance. This insurance gives your employees benefits if they get hurt or sick from their job. These benefits can help pay their medical bills.

In addition, workers’ comp replaces most of their lost wages if injuries force them to miss work.

Lastly, data breach insurance protects your business after a data breach. As a result, if personally, identifiable information gets lost or stolen, this insurance provides coverage for costs the business incurs relating to the data breach.

Commercial auto insurance covers the business and its employees on the road if they drive company-owned vehicles for business. Therefore, it will cover property damage and bodily injury claims if one of your employees causes an accident.

Debris Removal After a House Fire

After a house fire, even a small one, the property owner will likely have to remove damaged or destroyed items. However, debris removal after a house fire can be complicated by the presence of hazardous material, like damaged propane tanks. Typically, insurance carriers will cover the cost of debris removal up to a point. However, how much coverage your homeowners’ insurance will provide depends on the insurance company and the policy terms.

Salvageable v. Non-Salvageable Property After a Fire

If a fire has occurred at your home, your first concern, of course, is the safety of yourself and your family. However, depending on the extent of the fire damage, you will have to resolve the issue of salvageable v. non-salvageable property after a fire. Homeowners’ insurance protects your home itself (Dwelling Coverage) and its contents (Personal Property Coverage). High heat, smoke, and soot can cause extensive damage to your personal property, such as clothes, furniture, hardwood floors, and appliances. For instance, smoke damage causes fabrics, clothes, and soft goods to reek of the smell of smoke. Additionally, smoke and soot can discolor objects and reduce the life span of electronics and machinery. Consequently, you and your insurance company will have to determine which personal property is salvageable v. non-salvageable property after a fire.
