2018 Insurance Policies Business Owners Will Need
With 2018 fast approaching, it’s time for California business owners to start thinking about what types of insurance they should have in the coming year. The following is a list of the top types of 2018 insurance we recommend for any type of business in California:
Make Sure Your Business Has These Types of Insurance
1. Commercial Property Insurance
Commercial property insurance covers your building or contents if your business is damaged or if theft occurs. This policy can replace your business products and possessions in the event of a loss. This policy can also pay for the lost income caused by your business being closed from a covered loss.
2. Commercial Auto Insurance
Just as individuals insure their private vehicles, businesses need to do the same. Commercial auto insurance protects your vehicle and liability when it is used for business.
3. General Liability Insurance
If someone were to be injured on your property, or because of your property (for example, if a client or customer slipped on ice outside your place of business), they could possibly sue your company for negligence. General liability insurance protects your business against these types of lawsuits.
4. Workers’ Compensation Insurance
If you have any employees, you’re required to have workers’ compensation insurance. This insurance plan covers your employees in the event that one of them gets hurt while on the job. In most states, including California, workers’ comp insurance is mandatory.
5. Professional Liability Insurance
This type of insurance is known as Malpractice and E&O, or errors and omissions, insurance. It covers your business in the event that a negligence claim is made against you for failure to perform or a mistake in your business practice. Naturally, your business will have its own concerns in this arena, so Brashears Insurance will work with you to get you the coverage you need.
