Insurance is a crucial way to protect yourself, whether you have personal policies or are running a business. Unfortunately, many individuals and organizations aren’t quite as covered as they should be — while some lack essential policies. And much of this situation and the resulting risk is driven by not knowing enough about coverage types and how various policies work.

Key commercial insurance insights

Business insurance can be as essential to a company as financial statements and following OSHA safety rules. The right policy can pay back its monthly premiums many times over by providing financial assistance against outcomes like property damage, bodily injury, and crippling legal settlements and fees.

And as an increasing number of businesses and their everyday operations go digital, there’s also a growing necessity and demand for cybersecurity coverage. Connect with these blogs to learn about important commercial policies:

Covering the personal insurance bases

Personal insurance often does more than look after an individual. Life insurance protects their loved ones. Auto insurance can cover an entire family and prevent a crash from becoming a financial crisis. And a sufficiently insured home may mean the difference between fixing a problem or having it become a permanent fixture.

There’s a lot to consider when insuring yourself against a rainy day, whether you live alone or with a family — and regardless of if you rent or own.
