I. Property Insurance:
* Do you own or lease your business property? If so, what is its replacement cost? Ensure your policy covers the building, its contents, and any associated structures.
* What are the potential risks to your property? Consider fire, theft, vandalism, wind damage, and flooding. Does your policy adequately address these risks?
* Do you have business interruption insurance? This crucial coverage protects your income if your business is forced to close due to a covered event.
II. Liability Insurance:
* What are the potential liabilities your business faces? This includes bodily injury, property damage, advertising injury, and professional liability (errors & omissions).
* Do you have sufficient general liability insurance? This protects you from claims arising from your business operations.
* Do you need professional liability insurance (Errors & Omissions)? This is crucial for businesses providing professional services.
* Do you have product liability insurance? If you manufacture or sell products, this protects you against claims related to defects or injuries caused by your products.
III. Workers’ Compensation Insurance (if applicable):
* Do you employ anyone? If so, workers’ compensation insurance is mandatory in Texas. This covers medical expenses and lost wages for employees injured on the job.
IV. Commercial Auto Insurance (if applicable):
* Do you own or lease vehicles used for business purposes? Ensure you have adequate coverage for liability, collision, and comprehensive damage.
V. Other Important Considerations:
* Cybersecurity Insurance: Protect your business from data breaches and cyberattacks.
* Umbrella Liability Insurance: Provides additional liability coverage beyond your primary policies.
* Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI): Protects against claims of discrimination, harassment, or wrongful termination.
VI. Regularly Review Your Policy:
Your insurance needs evolve as your business grows. Review your policies annually with your insurance agent to ensure you have the right coverage.
