  • Free loss control services can help you identify existing hazards and educate your employees with safety seminars and customized materials. There may also be discounts when you implement safety recommendations.

I'm thinking about turning my online clothing boutique into a storefront, but I worry about the things that might go wrong. What type of insurance should I consider?

Your business policy can cover a wide range of people who have an interest in your company or perform work on its behalf. The coverage provided by your policy helps you protect yourself and others with an ownership stake in the company. In other words, a single business policy can cover the interests of all owners.

Congratulations on the new business! Looking into business insurance options is a smart move. Business liability insurance coverage can help you pay legal costs when someone — such as a customer or visitor — is hurt or suffers property damage and blames you and your business. If your company is found to be at fault, your business is legally responsible for the costs.
