Types of Commercial Insurance Policies
Posted by admin in Commercial Insurance on January 3, 2012
There are a variety of commercial insurance policies that will cover your business. From property and liability to workers compensation, many companies offer packages that may cover your standard business needs. Property insurance provides coverage for rebuilding after damage has occurred to the property, such as flooding or fire. Liability insurance protects against lawsuits or other claims that may be brought against the business, and workers compensation covers injuries that may occur to employees while they are working.
According to the American Bar Association, a business owners’ policy-or BOP-will cover most of the common risks of small businesses like homeowner’s protection covers an individual’s property. Additional business insurance may be added to a BOP to cover specific needs like business interruption cover if these are not already included in the plan. Purchasing a BOP will help keep premiums down, as the coverage is lumped into one policy rather than separate policies with individual premiums. The National Federation of Independent Businesses offers additional information to assist you in determining the types of business insurance your business requires.
