What Insurance Does a Small Business Need?

Starting and running a business requires careful planning. While your focus may be on customers, employees, and growth, having the right insurance coverage is an important part of protecting everything you’ve built.

The right insurance package depends on your industry, size, location, and specific risks — but most businesses should consider several key types of coverage.

General Liability Insurance

General liability insurance is one of the most common types of business insurance. It helps protect your business from claims involving:

• Bodily injury
• Property damage
• Personal injury claims
• Certain lawsuits

For many businesses, this coverage is a foundation of their insurance plan.

Commercial Property Insurance

If your business owns or leases a physical location, commercial property insurance can help protect:

• Buildings
• Equipment
• Inventory
• Furniture
• Supplies

Coverage can help your business recover after events like fire, theft, vandalism, or certain types of damage.

Workers’ Compensation Insurance

If you have employees, workers’ compensation insurance may be required depending on your state and situation.

It helps provide benefits for employees who are injured or become ill due to their work.

Commercial Auto Insurance

If your business uses vehicles for work purposes, personal auto insurance may not provide the protection you need.

Commercial auto insurance can help cover vehicles used for business operations.

Cyber Insurance

Nearly every business relies on technology today. Cyber insurance can help protect against losses related to data breaches, cyber attacks, and other technology-related risks.

Every business is different.

A small retail store, contractor, restaurant, office, and professional service business may all need different coverage.

Regular insurance reviews are important as your business grows, changes locations, hires employees, or adds new equipment.
