Commercial Liability

If someone slips and falls at your business, you may face a lawsuit, which can be very costly. This type of coverage will help keep costs low if you face a liability claim for property damage or bodily injuries to a third party. 

Commercial Property

You need to make sure your building and its contents are protected in the event of a loss. This is true, regardless of the type of building you operate your business from. Commercial Property insurance will help with the costs associated with repairs or replacements caused by theft or damage to your building. It can also help with repair or replacement costs to your business equipment, inventory, furniture, or electronics. 

Professional Liability

If a mistake on your end results in financial loss for your client, you may face an expensive and time-consuming lawsuit. However, this type of insurance, also known as Errors & Omissions (E&O), will help lower the costs associated with unexpected lawsuits that may occur from an error or omission in your work.
