This usually includes workers compensation insurance and unemployment insurance. Insurance for business can also help cover the costs of legal claims made against a business.
Without liability insurance, a business that has to pay the costs of a claim or lawsuit out of pocket may not have the financial means to survive. Business insurance can also protect businesses from the financial risks of:
- Property loss
- Repairing or replacing physical property after fire, theft, vandalism or wind
If you don't have business insurance, you may not be able to endure the costs that result from a variety of business exposures. This can lead to going out of business. Some of these exposures can include:
- Property damage
- Legal claims by third parties
- Work-related employee illness and injury
