Customized insurance for start up businesses

 

Professional liability insurance


All entrepreneurs should seriously consider professional liability insurance (errors and omissions insurance), since any mistakes or perceived errors made in the service you provide can cause claims to be brought against your business.

General liability insurance


Third party claims arising from bodily injury (e.g., slips and falls), personal injury (e.g., libel and slander) and damage to someone else’s property can create huge costs for your business, which is why you need general liability coverage.

Business owner insurance


Also known as a business owner's policy or BOP insurance, this combines general liability coverage with protection for your business equipment, such as computers, printers, copiers and office furniture.
