General Liability Insurance Small Business
Mark Karavan, Knowledge Level: All Levels, Keywords: general liability insurance small business
General liability insurance comes in a wide variety of forms and due to the wide variety of risk factors that different industries present, they are weighted to be industry-specific. Insurance companies often market these insurance products as œbusiness insurance solutions” or something to that effect; the term œgeneral business insurance” is usually an economic term that is used to identify businesses, even though they typically do not carry the term for identifying their products. In addition to general liability insurance, small businesses may need other forms of insurance such as malpractice and errors & omissions (if the business is a firm for lawyers, real estate agents, engineers, architects or medical practitioners) and product liability insurance (if the business is a manufacturer). It is also very common to purchase some amount of Employment Practices Liability Insurance, which protects against modern maladies such as sexual harassment, discrimination, and wrongful termination.
It is always a good idea to research your insurers before buying general liability insurance; small business insurance is a very important part of the enterprise, and having the wrong insurer could result in a very unfortunate (and expensive) situation for your business.
