Coverage for northwest Washington businesses
Most businesses start with a few core coverages and add more based on what they do.
General liability
Helps pay if your business causes injury or property damage to someone else, including legal defense costs.
Commercial property
Covers your building, equipment, inventory and furniture against covered losses like fire or theft.
Business owner’s policy (BOP)
A package that typically bundles general liability, property and business interruption for small businesses.
Commercial auto
Covers vehicles your business owns, and can be extended to cover employees driving their own cars for work.
Professional liability
Also called errors and omissions (E&O). Helps if a client claims your advice or service caused them a financial loss.
Cyber liability
Helps with costs after a data breach or cyberattack, such as notifying customers and restoring systems.
Common gaps worth asking about
These are the items we see business owners miss most often.
- Stop-gap coverage. If you have employees, stop-gap (employer’s liability) coverage helps protect your business if an employee sues over a work-related injury.
- What a BOP leaves out. A BOP typically does not include commercial auto, professional liability, cyber or stop-gap coverage.
- Business interruption limits. Make sure the limit reflects how long it would really take to reopen.
- Older buildings. Some policies on older buildings pay actual cash value rather than replacement cost, which can leave a large gap.
- Contract requirements. Leases and client contracts often require specific limits or certificates of insurance.
