What is small business insurance?
Business insurance is a must for companies both large and small. It protects business owners from financial losses and liabilities that occur due to unexpected events or emergencies and attracts and retains top talent to remain competitive in the employment market. With everything that could happen, from floods and thefts to accidents and injuries, business insurance is crucial to secure your company’s assets and provide the benefits employees expect.
What kinds of insurance are required for businesses in Canada?
Whether you’re an entrepreneur or a well-established business mogul, you are most likely familiar with the common insurance coverage required or strongly recommended by the Canadian government, including business interruption, professional liability, commercial general liability and commercial property.
While these traditional types of business insurance are helpful in protecting against a large financial loss from a singular, unexpected event, they fail to acknowledge your most important asset: people.
As the owner of your business, what would happen to your company in the event you become unable to work due to a bodily injury or illness? If you can’t work, your revenue and income is at risk of depleting and your employees risk losing their jobs.
While not mandatory, all types of businesses should have comprehensive insurance to protect all their assets – property and people included.
