Business insurance protects you from the unexpected—whether that's the financial consequences of a loss or lawsuit brought against you.
Even the smallest business needs to protect its equipment and merchandise from fire, water damage and other disasters. And professional liability insurance helps protect your company in case of a lawsuit.
Renewal and cancellation
You should update your coverage whenever there are significant changes to your business or operations. Here are some questions to consider:
- Have you purchased new equipment? Has the value of your property gone up?
- Have your business activities changed? Do you offer any new services, like online orders or delivery?
- Has your revenue gone up or down?
- Has your business moved or did you open another branch?
- Have you updated your computer systems?
- Is your expected cost to rebuild still realistic?
- Has there been a change in the use of your commercial vehicles?
Depending on what's changed, your insurance premium may increase or decrease.
