There are many different types of small business insurance policies to consider, and each covers different types of claims or losses. Having insurance that helps cover your business for a wide range of potential risks and exposures can help give you the peace of mind to be able to instead focus on growing and managing your business.

The following types of coverage may help meet your small business's basic risk management needs:

• Commercial General Liability (CGL) Insurance
• Business Owner's Policy (BOP)
• Workers' Compensation Insurance
• Cyber Insurance
• Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance
• Commercial Auto Insurance
• Hired and Non-Owned Automobile (HNOA) Insurance

Commercial General Liability Insurance: Commercial general liability insurance is the most common business insurance type that small business owners purchase. It may be required by certain leasing agreements and other contracts. Commercial general liability insurance typically covers claims made by third parties alleging bodily injury, property damage, and advertising injury caused by your business or its employees. You may want to consider commercial general liability insurance if your business includes working on a client’s property or interacting with the public, for example.

Business Owner's Policy: The convenience of commercial property and general liability insurance bundled together in one policy. This popular policy typically covers a broad range of claims, such as: property damage to your office and its contents, theft of equipment, damage to a client's property caused by your business or its employees, lost income due to a covered event, injuries to clients while in your office, and lawsuits that arise from advertising claims.

Workers' Compensation: Most states require this coverage. Workers' compensation insurance typically helps pay for medical bills and lost wages if an employee is injured while working on the job or suffers an illness as a result of working on the job. It also eliminates your business's liability if the injured worker files a lawsuit. Not maintaining this insurance for your small business may also result in harsh penalties and fines depending on your state and business type.

...And Other Policies: An errors and omissions (or E&O) insurance policy can help pay for legal fees and damages if a client sues a service provider for financial losses. Having this coverage can mean less worry about closing your business due to mistakes in rendering professional services. Cyber insurance can help your business recover from a cyber attack on your business. Commercial auto insurance can help cover the vehicles owned by your business, and HNOA insurance can help your business with resulting claims if you or your business’s employees ever rent or use their personal cars for business purposes and cause an accident.
