Business Insurance: Educational Guide
Understanding business insurance types helps business owners identify potential coverage needs. All content is general education â consult a licensed commercial insurance agent for advice specific to your business.
đ Commercial Auto
Covers vehicles used for business purposes. Personal auto policies typically exclude coverage for vehicles primarily used for business. Required if vehicles are titled to a business or primarily used commercially.
âī¸ General Liability
Protects against claims of bodily injury or property damage caused to third parties by your business operations, products, or services. Fundamental coverage for most businesses. Often required by clients or landlords.
đĸ Commercial Property
Covers your business's physical assets â buildings (if owned), equipment, inventory, furniture, and fixtures â against covered perils like fire, theft, and weather damage.
đˇ Workers' Compensation
Required by law in most states for businesses with employees. Covers medical expenses and lost wages for employees injured on the job. Both GEICO and Progressive offer workers' comp through commercial partners.
đģ Professional Liability / E&O
Covers professionals against claims that their advice or services caused financial harm to a client. Essential for consultants, advisors, tech professionals, and other service providers.
đĻ Business Owner's Policy (BOP)
A package policy combining general liability, commercial property, and often business interruption insurance. Designed for small to medium businesses. Often more cost-effective than purchasing coverages separately.
