Options To Consider
General Liability Insurance
This core coverage protects against claims of bodily injury, property damage, or advertising harm caused by your business operations.
Pros:
-
- Affordable entry point for most small businesses, often starting at low premiums.
- Broad protection for common risks like slip-and-fall accidents or product liability.
- Enhances credibility with clients and vendors who require proof of insurance.
Cons:

- Doesn’t cover employee injuries or your own property damage.
- Excludes professional errors, which may need separate errors and omissions coverage.
Limits can be exhausted in major claims, potentially requiring umbrella policies for extra layers.

Pros:
-
- Provides no-fault coverage, reducing lawsuit risks from employees.
- Ensures compliance with state laws, avoiding hefty penalties.
- Supports employee morale by demonstrating care for their well-being.
Cons:
-
- Premiums can rise with claims history or high-risk industries.
- Doesn’t apply to independent contractors unless added via endorsements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is business insurance and why do I need it?
Business insurance is a collection of policies that protect your company from financial losses due to risks like property damage, lawsuits, or employee injuries. You need it to comply with laws, safeguard assets, and maintain operations during crises. Without it, a single incident could lead to bankruptcy—it’s especially crucial for small businesses vulnerable to unexpected costs.
What types of business insurance are available?
Common types include general liability for third-party claims, property insurance for physical assets, workers’ compensation for employee injuries, professional liability for service errors, and cyber insurance for data breaches. Many opt for a Business Owners Policy (BOP) bundling several coverages at a discount. Assess your risks to determine the mix.
How much does business insurance cost?
Costs vary by industry, location, revenue, and coverage limits—general liability might start at $400 annually for low-risk operations, while comprehensive plans can exceed $1,000. Factors like claims history and deductibles influence rates. Shop quotes from multiple providers to find value without skimping on protection.
Do I need business insurance if I work from home?
Yes, if you run a home-based business, standard homeowners policies often exclude business-related claims. Add endorsements or a separate policy for equipment, liability, or professional risks. This prevents gaps, such as coverage for client visits or inventory stored at home.
What happens if my business doesn't have insurance?
Operating without required coverage can result in fines, legal penalties, or license revocation. In lawsuits or accidents, you’d pay out-of-pocket, risking personal assets. Insurance also builds trust—many contracts demand it. Prioritizing coverage early avoids these pitfalls and supports growth.
