Do you own a small business? Do you have business insurance?

If you answer yes and no, the next question is: Why not?

The reality is, every successful small business needs insurance. Here are four things you need to know. Read on:

What is it?

You might be wondering exactly what is business insurance. It’s a term that applies to the type of coverage your specific business needs to carry: Liability insurance, commercial insurance and more. It protects your business against things like fire damage, unhappy or injured customers or employees, to name a few.

Can it save me money?

In the long run, it can save you money. No one buys insurance hoping for the worst but business owners must plan for it. You could have a fire in your business, or someone could be injured on your property. An employee could sue you, or even a client could sue you for something an employee did on behalf of your company. These things are all eventualities that are covered by insurance and they are things you won’t have to pay for out of pocket.

Is it legally required?

Depending on what kind of business you own, you might have to carry some form of insurance. Some business owners, for example, must carry workers commercial auto insurance or liability insurance. It’s a good idea to make sure you are adequately – and legally – covered.
