What Types of Coverage Are Available?
If you have employees, Workers Compensation coverage will be mandatory according to state law. This insurance protects you and your employees for injuries which might occur while on the job. Automobile insurance will be mandatory by state law if you have company vehicles. Liability insurance should also be considered, to protect yourself against lawsuits or claims filed by third parties who may be injured or suffer property damage as a result of something your company did--or failed to do. Your insurance agent will be able to advise you on the types and amounts you need. If your business has any property--whether inventory or equipment of any kind, you will want to consider property insurance. One lightning bolt could put you out of business without this coverage. And there are specialty policies which you can buy for a variety of reasons, depending on your circumstances, such as business interruption insurance should you suffer flood, fire or other mishap that closes your business for a time; flood or earthquake insurance; crime insurance which protects against loss due to crimes; fidelity bonds--aka "dishonesty insurance"--for protection against dishonest employees.
There are other types of policies not covered here, be sure to check with your agent as to whether you need further coverage. You can also purchase a "Business Owners Policy" (BOP) which should cover most all of your insurance needs as a business owner.

Dental insurance is managed just like health insurance. Personal choices for dental insurance can be different so one should thoroughly go through the options before selecting any plan for him. Increasing costs of other forms of insurance have forced people to go for only specific choices. Many people make the decision to forego home insurance while others prefer to have car insurance at their first priority. Insurance packages for cars vary dramatically in prices because teenagers lack driving experience so the companies consider them a risk and thus charges high premium rates. |
