Small Business Insurance

Most business owners
don't know they're
underinsured.

Until something goes wrong. A slip and fall. An employee injury. A client lawsuit. A fire. These things happen — and when they do, the wrong coverage (or no coverage) can end a business overnight.

We make sure that doesn't happen to you. Tell us about your business and we'll find the right coverage — no guesswork, no gaps.

Here's what most small business owners get wrong.

They assume their personal policies cover their business. They don't. The moment you use a personal vehicle for a work errand, serve a client in your home, or hire your first employee — your personal insurance stops covering you in those situations.

The good news? Business insurance is more affordable than most people think. A basic general liability policy for a small business can cost less per month than a cell phone bill. The right coverage doesn't have to break the bank — it just has to be the right coverage.

We'll find out exactly what you need — and what you don't. →

Start here. Every business needs these.

These are the policies most businesses can't operate without — either because they're required by law, required by clients, or simply too important to skip.

Best Starting Point

Business Owner's Policy

A BOP bundles general liability and commercial property into one policy — covering your building, equipment, and liability together. It's the most cost-effective starting point for businesses with a physical location and usually costs less than buying each policy separately.

Required by Law

Workers' Compensation

The moment you have employees, workers comp is likely required. In California and Nevada that's from employee one. In Tennessee it kicks in at five employees. It covers medical costs and lost wages if someone gets hurt on the job — and protects you from lawsuits that could follow.

Often Overlooked

Commercial Auto

If anyone in your business drives for work — even their own personal vehicle — your personal auto policy won't cover an accident that happens on the job. Commercial auto fills that gap. Contractors, delivery, service calls — if you drive for your business, you need this.

Build on top of the essentials.

Depending on your industry and how you operate, these additional policies may be just as important as the basics.

Professional Liability (E&O)
Service Businesses

If you give advice or provide a professional service and a client claims your work caused them financial harm, E&O covers your legal defense and any settlement — even if the claim is unfounded.

Cyber Liability
All Businesses

If your business stores customer data, takes card payments, or runs on software — you're exposed. Cyber liability covers data breaches, ransomware, and the recovery costs that follow. No business is too small to be a target.

Commercial Umbrella
Extra Protection

Sits on top of your general liability or commercial auto policy. If a major claim exceeds your underlying coverage limits, umbrella picks up the rest — often millions in additional protection for a relatively small annual cost.

Not sure what your business needs?

That's completely normal — most business owners aren't insurance experts, and they shouldn't have to be. Tell us what you do, how many people you have, and where you operate. We'll figure out the rest and come back to you with exactly what you need — and nothing you don't.
