No, home insurance will not cover claims related to your home-based business. You will need to have the right insurance coverage for your business, which is separate from your home insurance policy. Home-based business owners cannot take any chances and require protection. You can consider common business insurance coverages, like general liability insurance and business property insurance. 

General liability insurance will help with costs associated with damage to the business property or a lawsuit as a result of a customer being injured. Business property insurance will help cover the costs of repairing damage to a business owner’s home.

This will depend on your specific business, and our brokers will take the time to understand your needs and the nature of your small business. We will then provide you with professional recommendations to ensure you have the best coverage for your needs. Our team will help you make informed decisions regarding business insurance, and we will discuss the type of insurance that makes sense for you. 

Insurance needs for a retail business, for example, are very different from the insurance needs of a contractor.

Your commercial insurance policy can cover damage to your business as a result of a flood, although it will need to be added to your policy beforehand. We will discuss how the deductible and any limits can impact your coverage. We will present you with different options to ensure you have the right level of coverage in place for your business, and will make sure you have a clear understanding of your policy in relation to floods. 

All business owners should have general liability insurance for protection against bodily injury and property damage to others. We can also discuss added forms of coverage, depending on the nature of your business. Additionally, you will have the option to add product and completed operations liability to your policy. Extending your coverage can provide you with further protection from customer claims made against your products and services after a sale. 

We have been in the insurance industry for many years, and our brokers help businesses of all kinds obtain the right insurance coverage. We will provide you with professional advice regarding coverage extension, and whether or not it is right for your business.

While insurance is not universally mandated, it offers critical risk management benefits. Remaining uninsured leaves companies fully susceptible to incidents that can threaten long-term survival. Even minor unplanned costs without protection may significantly burden your finances and stability. 

isure can help you expertly evaluate individual needs to design optimized plans. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, our brokers perform thorough risk analyses and tailor premium relief options to your business needs. 

While commercial policies provide defense against certain third-party liability claims, important nuances exist regarding what is not covered. Standard exclusions relate to losses directly impacting only the company, such as property damage from natural disasters or injuries solely to employees. Intentional illegal acts, contractual obligations, and estimates or quotes provided that are not upheld also typically fall outside basic protections.  

Specialized additional policies can help fill some gaps in your policy, but businesses must carefully review policy details and work alongside isure to fully comprehend exclusions and mitigate any uninsured exposure specific to their operations. Failure to do so may leave certain risks unprotected. 

Purchasing necessary commercial insurance provides important financial benefits beyond basic liability protection. Business owners can deduct the costs of qualifying policy premiums from their taxable income, offering valuable relief. Expenditures routinely permitted include general liability, professional negligence coverage for certain industries, property catastrophe protection, and cyber liability/data breach insurance for those handling sensitive customer information. 

Seeking the guidance of specialized advisors ensures businesses capture all possible deductions.  

While insurance is not mandatorily required for all ventures, it provides important financial protection that is particularly valuable for small companies. These enterprises typically have limited balance sheets to absorb significant unexpected costs out of pocket. Coverage guards against property loss and liability risks that could threaten business continuity. Even minor claims without insurance may result in crippling expenses that risk the company’s survival. 

Our knowledgeable isure brokers consider each business model’s unique risks and budget. Comprehensive reviews identify needs while exploring cost-saving options. Whether launching, expanding operations or moving to insure new product lines, isure’s guidance simplifies building resilient protection for the future.
