As a business owner, you are constantly faced with risks that could potentially harm your business. One of the best ways to protect your business is by having a General Liability Insurance policy in place. This not only safeguards your assets but also provides you with peace of mind knowing that you are covered in case of unforeseen events.
General Liability Insurance typically cover a wide range of risks that a business may face, including injuries to customers, property damage, and other unexpected losses. In return for an agreed-to payment (premium), you transfer the risk of a catastrophic loss to the insurance carrier, allowing you to focus on running your business without worrying about what could go wrong.
Industry Specific Policy Language
Every business is unique with its own risks and challenges. Despite the name "General Liability" it is critical to work with an insurance professional to make sure you have the right kind of coverage for your industry. A General Liability policy that excludes painting would not be a great fit for Main Street Painters, LLC. Yes, this really does happen.
Electricians have different needs than dog groomers. Real estate agents have different risks than night club owners. They should each carry General Liability insurance that is tailored to (and priced for) the risks they face in their unique businesses.
Work with an Independent Agent
Independent Agents have access to a variety of markets and are usually able to extend to new markets fairly quickly if needed. The more options you have, the better terms and rates you can expect to find. There's nothing magic happening, just a competitive market at work.
Another benefit of placing your trust with a properly licensed and insured agent is the duty we owe the general public when engaged in an insurance transaction. We have to give you competent advice and work to secure the coverage you agree to. Our agents are all licensed, insured, and in compliance with all local, state, and federal requirements for placing insurance business for our customers.
