Understanding Business Insurance 

Business insurance is a broad term that encompasses various types of coverage designed to protect companies from financial loss. These policies may help cover the costs associated with property damage, legal liability and employee-related risks, among other things. 

Different types of businesses require various business insurance policies and endorsements. For example, a retail store might need more comprehensive liability insurance to protect against customer injuries, while a consulting firm might prioritize professional liability insurance to protect against claims of negligence. 

Collaborate with an experienced agent and shop around for the best combination of price and coverage.  

Key Types of Business Insurance 

There are several types of business insurance that every business owner should be aware of: 

• Property insurance may help cover the costs if events like fire, theft, or natural disasters damage your business property (like your office or warehouse). 
• Liability insurance may come in several forms and generally help cover costs if your company is sued. This can include lawsuits related to customer injuries, product defects, advertising injuries, and slander and libel. 
• Workers’ compensation insurance is required for most California businesses with employees. If a worker becomes ill or is injured in a work-related incident, this coverage can help pay medical expenses, rehabilitation and lost wages.  
• Professional liability insurance, also known as errors and omissions insurance, may help cover costs if your business is sued for negligence or mistakes in the professional services it provides. 
• Commercial auto insurance is required for California companies that use vehicles to conduct business. 

This list is not exhaustive. Your agent may recommend additional policies and endorsements to help tailor your business insurance coverage to meet your organization’s needs.
