Small businesses in Huntington, TX likely have a basic insurance policy, but there are other lesser-known policies that may be important. An agent at Integra Insurance Services can help you find a general commercial liability policy and discuss your business risks to determine if these policies are right for you.
Cyber Insurance
Hacking has grown and it doesn’t take long to deploy some malware, and small businesses can be the target. Cyber insurance can help cover incident response costs, but it will also cover expenses from any losses, which can include business interruption, data recovery costs, liability coverage, and settlement coverage.
Professional Liability
For business owners that provide a service, this insurance protects you from a client that is unhappy. If someone thinks you are negligent, this policy could kick in if you are sued. General liability will not cover dissatisfaction. Personal liability for homeowners insurance won’t cover anything professional. Depending on the industry, you may need a policy that is more unique. For example, errors and omissions insurance covers service providers for any mistakes they make.
Inland Marine Insurance
Despite its name, this coverage is necessary for any business that is going to have its inventory on the move. Most property insurance only covers inventory within 500 feet of the business, so if a boat, truck, or airplane is moving product around the country, this type of policy can cover it.
Contingent Business Income Coverage
This policy will help cover your business if there is a loss of income due to damage or loss somewhere else. For example, if a part maker goes out of business, then this policy kicks in.
Employee Non-Owned Car Insurance
If your business has a car, regular commercial auto insurance is only vehicle-specific and doesn’t travel with the driver. If the employee is in his or her own car, their personal auto insurance policy would cover them. However, you could still be named in a lawsuit and having a commercial policy will protect you.
