General Insurance Questions
What types of coverage does my business need?
The right coverage depends on your industry, number of employees, services provided, and level of risk. Most businesses start with General Liability insurance. From there, you may need Workers Compensation, Commercial Auto, Property Insurance, Professional Liability, or specialized policies based on your operations.
How do premiums work?
Your premium is based on several factors, including your industry, business size, location, payroll, claims history, and the type of coverage you select. Higher-risk industries typically pay more due to increased exposure.
How fast can I get a certificate of insurance?
In most cases, certificates of insurance can be issued quickly — often the same day — once your policy is active.

Additional Questions
How much does business insurance cost?
Factors like your job industry or specific job duties will determine what you pay to take out a
business insurance policy. Take general liability coverage: professionals who interact with the
public, such as retailers, tend to pay more for this policy than those who work on their own,
because there’s a higher level of risk involved with customer-facing industries.
In general, the cost of your business insurance depends on the specific type of policy you need.
Additionally, it’s also subject to state availability, and qualifications may vary by state.
What risks does a business insurance policy cover?
Many risks to your business’s premises and property are typically covered under a business
insurance policy, including:
– Theft
– Lightning
– Fire and smoke
– Car crash into your business
– Windstorm or hail
– Sprinkler leakage
– Vandalism
– Falling objects
– Explosion
– Etc
How much coverage do I need for my business?
When choosing business insurance policies, consider the type of business, the services you
provide and the state where you operate.
General liability insurance is a good start as it covers bodily injury, property damage and legal
expenses. If you use company vehicles, commercial auto coverage is necessary since personal
auto insurance doesn’t cover business vehicles.
