Business Insurance 101
Let’s dive into the basics of business insurance.
What is business insurance? Business insurance is a risk management tool that helps reduce financial risk for businesses. When your company signs a contract (also called a policy) with an insurance provider, you pay a premium. In return, the insurer agrees to protect your business against specific disasters or accidents listed in the contract. These events can range from fires and car crashes to lawsuits against your business.
Common Types of Business Insurance:
Property Insurance: Covers damage or loss of property used in your business.
Liability Insurance: Protects your business if it’s sued for causing injuries to another party.
Business Income Insurance: Helps your business pay bills and employees after an accident or disaster.
Other types include cyber liability insurance, workers’ compensation, and more.
Choosing an Insurance Provider: Research and compare providers based on coverage options, reputation, and customer service. Consider your business’s unique risks when selecting policies.
Policy Period and Limit of Insurance:
Policy Period: The duration of coverage (e.g., annual, semi-annual).
Limit of Insurance: The maximum amount the insurer will pay for covered losses.
Claim and Deductible:
Claim: A request for compensation due to a covered event.
Deductible: The amount you pay out of pocket before insurance kicks in.
Remember, having appropriate insurance safeguards your business and ensures financial stability. If you have specific questions or need further guidance, consult an insurance professional.
