How much business insurance do I need?

Business owners often ask how much insurance limits they need. It solely depends on your business, nature of business, your clients, size of business etc. Discuss your business in detail with one of our business insurance brokers; identify the risks your business sis exposed to and what can be retained and what can be transferred to insurance. Check with your accountant limits of stock, equipment, seasonal fluctuations and if needed get appraisal done depending upon size of your business.

I run a home-based business. How should I cover my business?

Your home insurance does not cover your business insurance and you must disclose to your insurance company that you have a business exposure at home. Most home insurance companies cover certain type of businesses if you disclose this to them for a cost. However, those extensions offer limited coverage.

Home insurance does not typically cover the physical assets associated with your business, such as stock or inventory, or liability issues that occur in your homes, such as a slip and fall injury.

We recommend you to speak to one of our business insurance brokers to understand the limitations and restrictions of your business insurance policy.

In general, we recommend not mixing home insurance with business insurance. You should protect both your home and business with separate insurance policies.
