Types of Coverage
Because business insurance plays such a major role in the protection of your establishment, choosing the best coverage options is essential. Your broker will take the time to help you determine the type of coverage you need for your business by explaining all the options in detail. Some of those options include:
- General Liability – This coverage will protect you from any legal issues that arise due to injuries, accidents or negligence claims. The payments that result from property damage, bodily injury, slander, legal defense, medical expenses and settlements will be covered.
- Product Liability – If you sell or manufacture products, you may be responsible for the people that use those products. This coverage will protect your business against financial loss that results from defective products that cause injury. Your broker will talk to you about the products that you manufacture or sell to determine your exact level of risk to make sure you get ample coverage.
- Professional Liability – Also commonly referred to as errors and omissions coverage, this will protect a business that provides services against negligence, error and malpractice claims. Depending on the type of business you own, this coverage may be mandatory.
- Commercial Property – This type of coverage is essential for most businesses in order to ensure protection against damage and loss due to vandalism, theft, severe weather, fire, etc. You can have peace of mind that you are covered in the event of business interruption, income loss, building damage and more. Your Toole Peet Insurance broker will be happy to explain in detail the various types of property coverage that may be included in your commercial insurance policy.
- Home-Based Business – It is important to note that just because you operate your business out of your home, you should still consider protecting yourself with proper business insurance. Your homeowner’s insurance policy will likely not cover any losses that your home-based business encounters. Talk to your broker to determine the elements of coverage that you need to include in your policy for your home operations.
