Business Insurance
Businesses must deal with risk on a daily basis...
…regardless of their size or industry type. Insurance is an essential part of managing these risks, and for small business owners uninsured at the time of an accident, the resulting costs can often lead to closure of the business. If you’re operating a small business, having insurance can help reduce your risk and allow you to succeed in the future.
Your insurance requirements will vary according to the type of business you are operating
But you should be aware that some forms of insurance are compulsory, such as workers compensation and third party car insurance. Although it’s not compulsory, consider insuring your assets, revenue, and liabilities to protect your business against potential risks.
