A successful business requires a leader with an entrepreneurial spirit. Operating your business each day demands attention to your competition, the economy, legal exposure, compliance requirements, weather catastrophes, personnel issues and more. Your business is unique, and you must review each area of exposure so you understand how to manage your worst case scenario.
As an example, a retail shop needs a strategy in place to
protect property from crime and weather events and needs to reduce liability
exposure for injuries on the premises or while traveling. But a contractor must also be concerned with
equipment breakdown, OSHA requirements, personnel safety, and quality of work. Restaurants need to worry about food
preparation and client experience. Most
industries now must address the impacts of cyber liability. Many exposures can be reduced or mitigated by
planning ahead and by providing an insurance backstop for the largest exposures
of property loss or lawsuits for injuries or other legal actions.
- General
liability insurance covers third-party claims for injuries to other
people. This coverage does not insure “your work”.
- Commercial
property insurance covers loss or damage to your business property due to
fires, storms, or other causes.
- Commercial
vehicle insurance covers commercial vehicles and drivers for collision,
liability, property damage, personal injury, and comprehensive coverage.
- Workers'
compensation covers your employees if they get ill or injured while
working on the job.
- Professional liability and malpractice insurance protects against
loss due to negligence, wrongful acts, “your work” or advice that leads to
another person’s loss or injury.
By implementing strong risk management strategies, your
business will be more attractive to the insurance industry. This leads to more options for your coverages
and lower rates. Most insurance carriers
provide inspection and risk assessment services that will keep you better
protected. Some insurance increases may be inevitable due to the global nature
of pricing, but by keeping your business the best it can be, you will always benefit
from the best available pricing on your insurance.
As you grow your business, your risk exposure changes. You may have increased assets, inventory,
operations or staff. Be sure you adjust
your Risk Management Plan and your insurance coverages accordingly to ensure
you are properly protected.
