Whether for businesses with few employees, a retailer that welcomes customers, or a service-centered company, business insurance coverage is a consideration and protection that can pay off.
Even a small accident can lead to serious concerns for an uninsured business. Legal defense costs alone can bankrupt a company, and having inadequate or unnecessary business insurance coverage can mean financial loss.
Business insurance is available in multiple forms, including general and professional liability insurance and commercial property insurance. We invite you to talk with an Alpine Castle Lake agent for quality business insurance that makes sense for your circumstances.
There are multiple types of business insurance, with plans offering coverage for employee accidents, property damage, lost income, and more. Following are reasons for insurance that may make a positive difference for your business.
Regardless of the type of business insurance that fits your circumstances, having business insurance in place allows for insurance assurance—knowledge that your business has coverage for on-the-job accidents, property damage, or other reasons.
Business insurance is important for employee protection. Workers' compensation is a type of business insurance that typically covers medical costs for the treatment of work-related injuries or impairments, a percentage of lost wages to an employee unable to work, disability benefits, and rehabilitation services.
Other reasons for business insurance are protection against liability claims and lawsuits. A liability claim is a compensation request made against a party for harm and is settled without a judge or courtroom proceeding. Filing a lawsuit is a legal action for court involvement in a dispute.
General liability business insurance typically covers customer injury, property damage, advertising-related claims, and legal costs.
Professional liability insurance, also called errors and omissions (E&O) insurance, is for service providers. This coverage protects against litigation for performed or unperformed services, professional advice, and oversights that lead to client communication omission. E&O insurance also has application for legal costs stemming from lawsuits.
Another business insurance option is commercial property insurance. This type of insurance protects against fire, theft, natural disasters, and equipment damage. Our team can discuss insurance to cover a physical location, inventory, equipment, and tools.
Business interruption insurance covers lost income during closures/repairs. Benefit from means to maintain payroll and pay bills while rebuilding. Having business interruption insurance signals professionalism and financial responsibility, and can be a competitive differentiator when bidding for work.
Business insurance is often legally required for employers. Also, proof of insurance may be a requirement for a contract or as part of a request for proposal (RFP).
