Top insurance policies to fit your business.
No business is the same, but many companies share common risks. These key commercial insurance policies can help protect your business from common accidents, lawsuits, and damages. We offer tailored policies to help protect your business from fast-moving risks.
Commercial Auto
If your business owns vehicles used for business purposes, such as delivery trucks or service vehicles, commercial auto insurance provides coverage for those vehicles. This includes liability coverage for accidents and physical damage coverage for the vehicles.
General Liability
Provides coverage for third-party claims related to bodily injury, property damage, and advertising injuries. General Liability covers injuries occurring on your business premises or business activities that cause damage to someone else’s property.
Workers Compensation
If your business has employees, workers’ compensation insurance is usually required by law in every state. It provides coverage for medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs for employees who are injured on the job.
Commercial Property
Commercial property insurance covers physical assets such as the business building, inventory, furniture, equipment, and fixtures against risks like fire, theft, vandalism, and natural disasters.
Business Owners Policy
A business owner’s policy, aka BOP, is a cost effective way for small business owners to get general liability and commercial property insurance combined into a single policy.
Professional Liability
Professional liability insurance, aka Errors & Omissions (E&O), can help cover legal expenses if your business is sued for a mistake, missed deadline, project scope disputes, negligence, or other risks associated with customer satisfaction.
