Launching a new business is an exciting milestone, but every new venture comes with risk. Whether you’re opening a retail store, starting a consulting firm, launching a contracting business, providing non-medical transport, opening a home health agency, or creating a home-based business, having the right business insurance from the beginning helps protect everything you’ve worked to build.
The right insurance isn’t just about meeting a lease requirement or providing a certificate of insurance to a client. It’s about protecting your business, your assets, your employees, and your future as your company grows.
Most startups and small businesses should consider coverages such as:
-
General Liability Insurance to protect against claims of bodily injury, property damage, and legal defense costs.
-
Business Owners Policy (BOP), which combines General Liability and Commercial Property Insurance into one convenient policy for many small businesses.
-
Professional Liability (Errors & Omissions) for businesses that provide advice, consulting, design, accounting, technology, or other professional services.
-
Workers’ Compensation Insurance for businesses with employees, as required by Connecticut law.
-
Commercial Auto Insurance for vehicles owned or regularly used for business purposes.
-
Cyber Liability Insurance to help protect against data breaches, ransomware, wire fraud, and other cyber risks.
As your business grows, your insurance should grow with it. Hiring employees, purchasing equipment, signing larger contracts, adding vehicles, expanding locations, or offering new services can all create new risks that should be reviewed regularly.
