Small Business Insurance Is a MUST. And here's why...

Any small business, regardless of number of employees, should have at least basic business insurance. Basic business insurance will cover the business from most liabilities. This may not be considered important, but one lawsuit that wins against a small business could potentially force the business into bankruptcy. Also, potentially if a business does not have insurance, then the owner of the business, may be personal liable for monetary damage or lawsuits. Consider, for example if a small business sells a product that is defective, and causes physical harm then certainly there is legal grounds for a lawsuit, even if the small business, was not aware of the defective product, when purchased by a customer. Many lease companies require any size business, that leases space, have insurance liability. Because the lease company is totally aware of the fact, that if the business was sued, they could be forced to file for bankruptcy, which would make their lease agreement invalid, and the lease company would never get paid. Also, fire or damage cost would be covered in the insurance policy, protecting the leased company from any repair costs or total loss.

Takeaways
  • Basic business insurance for property and Liability.
  • Liability insurance should be Comprehensive General Liability.
  • Owners Policy, combines property & liability into one premium
