Commercial Auto

Commercial Auto

A vehicle collision is never good news, but when it’s one of your business’ cars or trucks, the consequences are more complicated. Business auto insurance, also called commercial auto insurance, takes all the elements of normal auto coverage and adds on extra protection.

For example, when obtaining commercial car insurance you can usually get much higher liability coverage to reflect the fact that a business typically has more assets at risk than an individual would. Additionally, with commercial auto insurance, you can get collision insurance. This type of coverage pays out for damage to your commercial car or truck no matter who caused the collision–a protection that’s often a must if you lease or finance commercial vehicles.

It’s also worth considering employers non-owned car liability coverage. Employers non-owned car liability coverage is an add-on or a separate policy covering those instances when your staff use their own personal cars or trucks as part of their work for your business. This type of protection can help reduce the risk of messy legal complications if they are injured or their vehicle is damaged during this time.

Commercial car insurance is essential for those that run a business, but obtaining the proper coverages can get confusing. We can help!

Workers Compensation Insurance

Workers Compensation Insurance

In principle, the workers’ comp payouts will cover medical bills, care costs and a portion of any lost wages. Plus, in the worst-case scenario, workers’ compensation insurance will cover funeral costs and death benefits.

There are often harsh legal penalties for businesses that don’t carry workers’ comp. But, aside from that, workers’ comp insurance can also help your business, as it makes sure staff get adequate medical treatment that help them return to work fit and healthy.

Many workers’ compensation insurance policies go beyond the legal minimums and will also pay your legal costs if an employee sues over a workplace injury.

While you can get standalone workers’ compensation policies, you can also often buy workers’ comp coverage as an add-on to other policies, such as a business owners policy (BOP), commercial general liability insurance or professional liability insurance.

Our insurance experts are ready to help you determine the best method for obtaining proper workers’ compensation insurance for your business.

General Liability Insurance

General Liability Insurance

When you look around your business, it’s obvious that you need to protect against damage to your buildings, equipment and staff. Less obvious–but no less important–is the risk of damage to other people and businesses, which could leave you paying out large sums if you are held liable.

General liability insurance mainly covers bodily injury to people outside of your business and physical damage to their property. A few exceptions to this principle include data loss and reputation damage (for example, if one of your business’ staff members defames a client).

It’s important to note that general liability coverage doesn’t apply to cases where you are sued for giving inadequate professional advice. Errors & omissions insurance (E&O) can help to protect your business from that specific type of risk.

Your business needs general liability insurance if you ever meet clients (at your business or theirs), or have any physical access to their equipment. Additionally, general liability insurance may be a requirement before some businesses will sign a contract with you.

General liability insurance is a common necessity for most businesses. We can help you to determine a policy that works for your unique business.

Umbrella Insurance

Umbrella Insurance

Commercial umbrella insurance is all about going one step further. It’s an added layer of protection that kicks in if the very worst happens with your business insurance policies.

Most business insurance policies–whether they cover commercial liability or commercial property–have a payout limit. Normally, your business would be on the hook for any expenses above and beyond this limit. This type of unexpected cost is something that could threaten the very survival of your business.

A commercial umbrella policy kicks in only if your main business insurance policy reaches the payout limit. At that time, the commercial umbrella policy would pay out the remaining costs.

For example, let’s say you have a liability insurance policy of $500,000 for your business, but you must pay damages of $700,000. If you have a commercial umbrella policy in place for your business, the liability insurance policy will pay out in full first, and then the umbrella policy will pick up the remaining $200,000.

The beauty of umbrella insurance is that, because there’s a relatively low chance it will need to pay out, it’s often considerably cheaper to purchase than you might expect.

Commercial umbrella insurance is a great way to further protect your assets. Reach out, and we’ll help you to determine if it’s right for your business.

Business Owner Insurance (BOP)

Business Owner Insurance (BOP)

The first type is property insurance. Property insurance covers risks associated with your business’ premises, equipment and vehicles. Additionally, it often includes any associated loss of business.

The second type is liability insurance. Liability insurance covers damage to people you deal with and their property. But, it’s important to note that liability insurance usually doesn’t cover risks related to professional services–meaning damages that result from you giving clients inaccurate advice, for example.

Getting a business policy (BOP) means covering all these risks in one go, which reduces stress and brings peace of mind. The policy will usually be custom made to cover your specific needs, so pricing can vary significantly. But, it’s normally cheaper than buying separate policies for each element.

We can help design a business owners policy (or BOP) that works best for you and your business. Reach out to get started!
