Business insurance plays an important role in protecting your company, but standard policies do not always cover every risk you may face.
Many businesses start with a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP), which generally combines:
✔️ General liability (for bodily injury, property damage, or personal injury claims)
✔️ Commercial property coverage (for buildings, equipment, or inventory)
✔️ Business income insurance (to help cover lost income from certain disruptions)
However, standard coverage often excludes:
❌ Cyberattacks and data breaches
❌ Professional errors or service-related claims
❌ Natural disasters like floods or earthquakes
Depending on your industry, you may need to supplement your policy with additional coverage such as errors and omissions (E&O), cyber insurance, or commercial auto.

And while they can offer tax advantages, the benefits depend on your business structure and state laws.
