Which Commercial Insurance Does Your Business Need?
Answer these four questions to identify the right commercial insurance combination for your business.
Do you have employees?
- Yes — Workers' compensation is legally required in most states. Add general liability for your business operations.
- No employees yet — Start with a BOP or standalone general liability policy. Add workers' comp when you hire.
Do you use vehicles for business?
- Yes, company-owned vehicles — Commercial auto insurance is legally required and essential for protecting your fleet.
- Employees use personal vehicles for work — You still need hired and non-owned auto coverage on your commercial policy.
Do you provide professional services or advice?
- Yes — Professional liability (E&O) insurance is essential. One client claim can exceed your entire annual revenue.
- Primarily physical operations — A BOP covering general liability and commercial property is your foundation.
Do you want the most cost-effective bundle?
- Small to mid-size business with a physical location — A Business Owners Policy bundles GL, property, and BI at the lowest combined cost.
- Service business with no significant property — Standalone general liability + professional liability may be more efficient than a full BOP.
