You Need To Look Into Commercial Insurance

• May 8, 2010

If you own a business, you need commercial insurance. Take the time to find the proper insurance policy for your business and take care that you have adequate amounts of coverage.

Your workers have to be insured against injury on the job. In your area, this might be a government requirement, some areas call this workers compensation insurance. If you do have to take it out then you might be able to purchase it from a private carrier or you might have to buy it through the state.

Have insurance on your business property if you own your building. If the building is destroyed or damaged and needs to be demolished you need not only coverage for rebuilding but also for the demolition service.

While you are waiting for the demolition and rebuilding you need a building to keep running your business. You will need to figure the cost of renting another building until you are able to move back to your own premises.

If people other than your workers are on your business premises, you need liability insurance in case someone injures himself on your property. If someone slips and falls and suffers an injury the you need coverage against lawsuits.

Insure items in your warehouse, but remember to insure currency and other financial instruments that could be destroyed in a fire or other disaster. Inventory all items in your building. Include office furniture, and equipment, and company signage.

You have to know exactly what was lost in case of a fire or other destructive occurrence. You might want to take a video recording of all of your items in your building. Keep all records of your inventory in a separate area like a safe deposit box.

Insure company items like laptops and cell phones and other equipment taken off business property. These items are easily lost or stolen and unless you insure them, you will not be able to recoup your loss.

You need product liability insurance if your business sells products at retail or wholesale. Even if your distributor can bring an action against you through an indemnity action, so make sure you have the proper coverage to protect you if someone suffers injury and damages due to your products.

The best way to figure your property insurance coverage needs is to determine what would happen if your business premises was destroyed. Figure the loss of office equipment, and the total inventory of your warehouse.

Determine the cost to rebuild your damaged or destroyed building including the demolition costs. Figure in the cost to move into another building to continue doing business as you wait for your building to be rebuilt.

Keep your figures up to date. If you add more equipment or warehouse inventory you need to let your insurance company know right away.

Commercial insurance is a cost of doing business. You must have a policy in place. Call your business insurance company today for the best rates on the coverage you need.
