Five Insurance Tips for Your Small Business

Business Insurance – an Investment in Your Future

Owning a business is a large investment of time, money and the future of your small business could rely on securing the right insurance. There is more to running a small business than daily business transactions, as many new business owners discover only too late.

This realization usually occurs when a sudden natural disaster destroys a small business's equipment, data, office, and furnishings. It may also occur in small businesses that have unrecognized liabilities, such as employee injuries or fatalities.

Be Prepared with Comprehensive Auto, Home, and Business Insurance Plan

To determine the actual cost of loss or liability, small business owners usually need the help of a professional insurance agent.

The logical action to take is to choose an insurance professional with substantial experience in your line of work.  Pulling from past client experience, your agent will be familiar with potential problems that may result in costly liability.

Five Tips to Insurance Your Small Business

There are five essential tips to consider when insuring your small business. These include:
1. Identifying potential liability
2. Evaluating actual business property coverage
3. Choosing the most cost-effective workers' compensation policy
4. Ability to add on insurance features that result from changes to business practices
5. Specifying insurance coverage for performance and financial loss

Identifying Potential Liability

During the day to day operation of a small business, the owners may not always see details in areas of their business that may be a source of liability. An experienced insurance agent has the knowledge and skill to pinpoint areas that require insurance coverage.

Evaluating Actual Business Property Coverage
For a small business with a storefront, their real property can be a large part of the value of their daily business operations; it is advisable to allow an insurance agent to evaluate the coverage you will need in the event of loss of use.

Choose the Most Cost-Effective Workers Compensation Policy

Workers compensation for business owners with a staff that has a storefront to conduct business should be discussed and reviewed to ensure coverage is adequate to cover medical, burial and death benefits, as well as lost wages.

Ability to Add-On Insurance Features

Small business owners may need the assurance that a claim of liability filed against the business, owners' home, auto, and business insurance policies are adequate to avert financial disaster.

A small business insurance policy should be flexible enough to allow for add-ons that result from changes to business practices. For example, a business owner expands the reach of his target market of customers requiring him to increase the number of employees.

A small business owner may also need commercial auto insurance should they offer delivery service using company vehicles.

Specify Insurance Coverage for Performance and Financial Loss

Most small business owners endeavor to reach 100 percent customer satisfaction. However, from time to time they may encounter a customer complaint regarding business performance.  Professional liability insurance, also known as errors and omission insurance, can cover a professional who makes a living off of their expertise.

There is also the potential for financial loss from non-payment by suppliers and customers. It is important to discuss these possibilities and the types of insurance coverage that provides optimal security and confidence to a business owner.
