What Is Business Insurance?

​

Business insurance, sometimes referred to as commercial insurance essentially protects businesses from the kinds of unexpected expenses that can sink them if they do not have emergency funds. For instance, a natural disaster, lawsuit, or mistake involving property, customers, or employees can drain a business of its capital if it does not have insurance.

What Are the Different Kinds of Business Insurance?

 

Generally, business insurance refers to a range of coverage or policies. The following are a few of the most common types of business insurance policies John Savadjians has underwritten for clients over the years.

 

• General Liability Insurance – This is usually the first type of insurance purchased by business owners because it helps companies cover costs if an owner or employee accidentally damages someone’s property. While it is only one type of business coverage, it is important because it works for any business and covers things like bodily injury and medical expenses in addition to property.

 

• Commercial Property Insurance – This insurance protects nearly all the physical assets a company needs to do business. For this reason, it usually covers replacement costs for goods, equipment, inventory, and repairs to a workplace building. Businesses use it to guard against various events like smoke, fire, storms, and vandalism.

 

John Savadjian often helps businesses combine general liability with commercial property insurance into a package that includes both types of coverage. Usually referred to as a business owner’s policy, BOP insurance is an effective way to protect a business from expenses due to property damage, medical payments, and lawsuits.

 

• Workers’ Compensation Insurance - This covers workplace injuries. In other words, if an employee gets injured while at work, this policy will pay for the medical costs and even for lost wages. This type of insurance is nearly always mandatory when a company has employees.

 

• Professional Liability Insurance – This coverage helps protect companies from claims of work mistakes, negligence, and malpractice. It is important for businesses that offer services to customers.
