In this blog, Campbell & Haliburton are going to talk about commercial insurance. Specifically, what are the three most commonly asked questions on commercial insurance?
So, what is it?
Commercial insurance is a type of insurance that is designed to protect businesses from financial losses resulting from unexpected events. It is an essential part of any business’s risk management strategy. Further, it can help protect a business from a wide range of potential liabilities. However, many business owners are not familiar with the specifics of commercial insurance and have questions about what it covers and how it works. Here are the top three most asked questions!
1. What does it cover?
Commercial insurance can cover a wide range of potential liabilities for businesses. This can include property damage, liability for injuries or accidents that occur on the business’ property. It could also be losses resulting from natural disasters or other unexpected events. Commercial insurance can provide coverage for lost income or extra expenses that a business may incur as a result of a covered event. Some common types of commercial insurance include: general liability insurance, property insurance, and business interruption insurance.
2. How much do I need?
The amount of insurance that a business needs will vary depending on the type of business and which risks it faces. For example, a business that operates in an area with a high risk of natural disasters may need more coverage than a business that operates in a low-risk area. Additionally, a business that has a lot of valuable assets, such as expensive equipment or inventory, may need more coverage than a business with fewer assets. Business owners should work with their Campbell & Haliburton insurance broker to assess their specific risks to determine coverage.
3. How do I choose the right policy?
