Commercial Coverage is Essential to Your Business’ Livelihood

May 24, 2022

Owning or operating a business – regardless of size, complexity or footprint – is a challenging endeavor. The myriad of factors that go into a successful business can most likely create an equal number of risk exposures.

No matter what you sell or where you sell it, your investment capital, overhead and income are all at risk of loss should a casualty occur. Casualties are not limited to physical damage; they can include business disruption or stoppage, professional mistakes, reputational damage or general liability.

According to Insurance Journal, 4 out of 10 businesses will experience a property or general liability claim in the next 10 years. Claims can arise from unexpected incidents like libel or from events that are common, like weather-related casualties or theft. In fact, the most common claims are burglary and theft, water and freezing damage, wind and hail damage, fire and customer slip and fall.

Insureon estimates that 75% of U.S. businesses are underinsured while 40% have no insurance at all! Claims can be costly and, for the under- or non-insured, disastrous to the life of the business. The most expensive claims, according to Insurance Journal, are reputational harm, vehicle accidents, fire, product liability and customer injury or damage.
