Mom and Pop Protection
Most small businesses need:
- Property insurance. Whether you work from home, have a brick and mortar store or multiple facilities, you want to protect your business property, equipment and inventory if it’s stolen, damaged or destroyed. It’s important to note that even if you work from your home, your homeowners insurance will likely not cover business losses.
- Commercial auto insurance. If you of your employees use vehicles for business purposes, this policy covers the financial consequences incurred because of an accident. It’s required by law in Massachusetts
- Liability insurance, which protects you against the many types of liability your business faces daily. This may include product defects, accidents on your property, faulty service and much more.
- Workers’ compensation insurance. All employers in Massachusetts are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance, which provides coverage for employees who sustain a work-related injury.
Beyond the Basics
Every company is different, but if you only cover the basics, you may be leaving yourself vulnerable. Most small businesses don’t have the deep pockets of larger corporations, so one incident or accident is often enough to put you out of business.
