Getting the right Business Insurance

December 1, 2012 by Reporter Leave a Comment

Insuring your business may seem like a no-brainer but for many people, just staying on the right side of the ledger books is more of a concern than insurance. However, not getting the right insurance for your business could leave you out in the cold if something were to happen, and unfortunately, bad things do happen.

Is Business Insurance a priority

Many people think about business insurance as a big lump sum that gets taken from their bank account every month, but business insurance is different. Not only are there many different types of business insurance, but these types can also be tailor-made by insurers to suit your business. If you own a retail store for example, you may need to insure the building you operate from and the contents of your business. If a fire was to occur and you were left without any stock to sell you would have to go out of business.

On the other side of that coin, anyone who has a service to offer won’t need this kind of insurance. They may need malpractice insurance and public liability insurance to ensure that if they are sued by a client or customer, they will be covered for legal fees.

Comprehensive or Partial insurance

Comprehensive business insurance is an attainable goal, but not everyone needs this kind of insurance. Why bother with comprehensive insurance if you don’t have any vehicles that need to be insured, for example? A company that does make use of a fleet of vehicles would need very different insurance to a woman selling cupcakes out of her home kitchen. It all depends on various factors, such as what your business or service is about, how much money you make a year and what type of product you sell.

Many people see the sense in getting public liability insurance if they have a service to offer. If you were to operate a gym for example and someone broke a leg on your property, you would need insurance to cover their medical costs. If you are selling products however, and your geyser bursts, damaging your products, you would need product insurance.

The best way to get the right business coverage for your business is to contact a professional who will be able to take you through the various forms of insurance and how they could potentially aid your business. Remember that for business professionals, not having any insurance should never be an option. It is just too risky.
