Get business insurance coverage quickly and seamlessly

Small business insurance (sometimes called commercial insurance) protects your assets, income, and property from unexpected costs. 

These costs could arise from any number of unforeseen events, like workplace injuries, theft, lawsuits, accidents, or natural disasters. Without insurance, these events could have devastating financial effects on your business. 

Just like personal insurance, it’s better to have business insurance and not need it than to need it and not have it.

What kinds of business insurance coverage do you need?  

If you own a business, you need business insurance. Period. 

Being properly insured prevents you from paying for unexpected expenses out-of-pocket, allowing you to remain financially stable in case of a claim. Different risks require different policies for protection. There are several factors to consider, like where you do business, the type of business you operate, and your contractual requirements, which will determine which insurance product gives you the business insurance coverage you need. 

While no coverage solution is one-size-fits-all, most businesses require more than a basic coverage policy. Here are just a few of the most common foundational business insurance products that will protect your investments.
Business owner's insurance

Business owner’s policy insurance (BOP)

Business owner’s policy insurance provides comprehensive coverage by bundling multiple types of business insurance into a single policy. BOP insurance usually consists of general liability, commercial property, and business income interruption insurance. Bundling with a BOP policy saves you money versus purchasing stand-alone policies.

What’s the CIC difference for business insurance?

There are many reasons why it’s so important to work with an experienced, live agent who will take the time to understand your business classification and find the carriers and insurance policies you need.

You may not know that there are thousands of official business classifications. If your business is misclassified, that could lead to higher than necessary business insurance premiums or claim denial. 

You also might not know that commercial insurance carriers have preferences for which types of businesses they insure. And these preferences are constantly changing. If you don’t know which carrier is right to cover your risks, you could easily select one that isn’t right for you, leading to application denial. 

These are just a few examples of what could go wrong if you decide not to work with an agent like the ones who specialize in business insurance at the CIC. We work with millions of small business owners and the most trusted national, regional, and speciality carriers to protect your needs.
