Commercial insurance—also called small business insurance—can help protect your company from financial hardship if the unexpected happens.



Every business faces risk—things like employee injuries, visitor slip-and-fall accidents, professional "errors and omissions," and work-related auto accidents. The liability and financial loss from these types of incidents and many others can devastate a small company that isn’t properly insured.

Commercial insurance includes policies such as:

  • Workers’ compensation: Protection for your employees and your company if someone is injured or becomes ill on the job.
  • Professional liability (also called errors & omissions insurance): Important for businesses that provide professional advice or services in the event of actual or alleged mistakes.
  • General liability: Coverage for customer property damage, non-employee bodily injury, product liability, libel, slander, and copyright infringement.
  • Business owners policy or BOP (also called property & liability insurance): All the protection of a general liability policy plus protection for your building or leased space, its contents, and business income in the event of a direct physical loss or damage to property at your insured location.
  • Commercial auto: Protection for company vehicles used to conduct business.
  • Umbrella: An extra layer of financial protection for claims that exceed an underlying biBERK policy.

Depending on the kind of work your company does, you may not necessarily need all of these policies. But having the right amount of the right types of coverage is crucial.

Not only can commercial insurance policies pay for things like damages and medical costs, they may also cover legal fees, settlements, and jury awards. That includes legal fees related to baseless claims.

Finding the Right Commercial Insurance Company

In order to be confident that your business is properly protected, you want to work with the right provider. Your commercial insurance company should be one with extensive expertise, strong financial backing, and a positive reputation.

Beyond Commercial Insurance: Other Ways to Protect Your Business From Liability

Having appropriate commercial insurance is vital. But even with coverage in place, you can and should take steps to minimize your risk. For instance, working to improve the safety of your operations is important. You can do that through things like mandatory training and incentive programs. Preventing injuries and property damage helps reduce the chances of a lawsuit.

Establishing good relationships with your customers or clients, providing them with high-quality products and services, and resolving any issues that arise quickly and in a way that’s fair to everyone involved is important, too. Happy people tend to be less inclined to take legal action and more inclined to work things out with you.

Ultimately, the combination of comprehensive commercial insurance coverage from a trusted company and good, safe business practices is the best way to protect your company.
