The Insurances Your Business Needs

It doesn’t matter which industry your business is in, you need to consider insurance. Without insurance, your business cannot run properly – or legally – and you need to use insurance to protect you as much as possible. You may have all the faith in the world that your business is going to work well, but without insurance, you will find that your business quickly can sink under the weight of legal cases and risk – and none of it is worth it.

The problem is that you have to figure out what’s available before you get started. You may not be approved for business finance without the legal insurances in place, either. You can also get to know the insurance industry trends so that you can make the best choices for your company at all times. If you know what coverage you need and what’s optional, you can make the best decisions for your business and have the right protection lined up before you get started. So, with this in mind, let’s take a closer look at the most common business insurance types your business could benefit from, and what they help you with.

Property Insurance

This is the insurance that – obviously – protects the building that you own. Not only that, but it will protect your business property at the same time. So, if you own your office furniture and inventory, your technology and any other business equipment can be covered with the same insurance. Insurance for your equipment is vital because if a disaster occurs, you need to be able to replace it all. You will also be protected against theft and fire, vandalism or any other disaster, too. All business insurance policies vary for property protection, but you may also find that there is optional coverage available, too.

General Liability

Regardless of your business type and what you do, you need general liability insurance. As a small business owner, you need to make sure that you are covered if someone is injured or property is damaged in your business. With general liability insurance, you won’t be out of pocket if someone is injured on your premises or dies on the premises. It’s safe to assume that you and your employees will be covered and while they wouldn’t harm someone on purpose, accidents happen and you need to be prepared for them.

Auto Insurance

You may not consider that you need auto insurance, as you would have only used it for your personal vehicles. However, if you have trucks or company cars for which you are responsible, then the correct commercial auto insurance is a must. You want to make sure that you and your staff are covered in the event of property damage and collision. You also need to remember that you need different cover if you have vehicles that your business doesn’t own.

Insurance For Data Breaches

Cybersecurity is so important these days. Not only do you want to have the right managed service provider by your side to make sure that you can work well, you need to have insurance to cover you in the event of a data breach. You are likely to be dealing with personal information that you save on servers, but if someone hacks your server – what then? You need to be covered for the financial losses that a data breach can cost. Your data breach could cost you your entire company, and you can help to prevent losses financially with this insurance.

Worker’s Comp

You have to cover yourself in the event of your staff being injured on the job. You will find that worker’s compensation insurance will cover you or wage replacement, health benefits and any other compensatory costs for the worker on the job. It’s something that is required by law and you need to have this in place before you start anything with your business. Research the right trends with this insurance – you want to offer your staff the very best.

Business Owner’s Insurance

Lastly, this is a package that will cover property, business interruption, data breaches, crime coverage and more. Your business needs insurance that is tailored to its needs specifically – and this is it. You can tailor the entire package to suit you and this will help your business massively.

Some of these are legally required and the best thing that you can do is to check with your business mentors to know which insurances your specific business will need, insurance experts Horner Blakey has some really useful information. Make sure you get the right insurance for your needs – or you’ll regret it later!
