As a business owner you need to be adequately prepared for any type of operational risk—a damaging lawsuit, a natural disaster, a key employee leaving suddenly, loss of revenue, etc. With the right business insurance policy, you will enjoy peace of mind and the freedom to focus on what really matters—serving your customers and growing your business.
Business insurance today is a necessity, not an option. The loss of a key person or asset, a major catastrophe (like a fire), injury on your property, or serious harm caused by your product, can jeopardize everything you have worked so hard to build. From your commercial property to the products you manufacture or distribute, the equipment and vehicles used, and staff, there are a range of insurance products available to protect all your assets, minimize risk, and keep your enterprise running smoothly.
Importance of Small Business Insurance
- Reduce your liabilities: Mistakes can happen at any time. With general liability, product liability and professional liability insurance, injuries on your property or those caused by your product or employees will be covered instead of you having to pay from your pocket.
- Cover your losses: Clean up and remediation after a flood, fire or environmental disaster can be costly. Added to this is the loss of revenue from suspended operations. With business interruption insurance, your losses will be covered till you are ready to resume business.
- Protect your vehicles: Despite safe driving habits and well-maintained vehicles, accidents happen. Whether you have a single van or a fleet of cars and trucks, commercial auto insurance covers collisions, damages and injuries so that you don’t lose sleep over unforeseen liabilities.
- Prevent legal complications from employee injuries: Adequate compensation for job-related injuries reduces the risk of employee lawsuits. It’s a smaller price to pay when compared to the cost of long drawn court battles and the stiff penalties for negligence.
