Continue reading to learn more about business insurance coverage! Liabilities The first essential protection that business insurance offers your company is liability protection — coverage of expenses related to damage claims or lawsuits filed against your business. Each business insurance policy is unique, but in general, liability protection can cover expenses related to:

Claims of property damage, either to your business’s own property or to property that is being rented to your business
Injuries sustained by customers, either on your property or while using your products
Personal injury and intellectual property claims related to content in your advertising or your company’s social media
Claims related to advice you provide clients
Other claims made involving your products, services, or business operations

According to the Small Business Administration, more than half of small businesses are involved in at least one lawsuit at any given time. Therefore, it is essential for new business owners to invest in liability protections as part of their business insurance coverage. Commercial Property Property coverage is one of the more straightforward elements of business insurance, but it is no less essential for your business. Commercial property insurance can cover your business from expenses related to damage to your property or products from a host of potential hazards, including weather, fire, vandalism, or even theft. These types of expenses can be small business killers, as the average commercial property damage claim is tens of thousands of dollars! Without proper business insurance coverage, your small business could face financial ruin after just one bad storm. Worker’s Comp & Related Legal Expenses Most states require some form of worker’s comp business insurance coverage. If you’re not yet familiar with this type of business insurance coverage, worker’s comp protects your business and employees in the event of workplace injuries and personal injury claims related to your advertising, products, or services.
