If you are relying on the liability coverage provided through a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP), then chances are you do not have enough. Although a BOP does provide liability coverage for businesses, it is often at a small limit and not enough to cover costs due to claims and lawsuits.

Does your business qualify for general liability coverage?

It is important to know which market your business falls into before you shop for liability insurance. Those businesses that fall into the “excess surplus market” (i.e. “dangerous” occupations such as roofers, siders, etc.) have to purchase excess liability insurance.

If your business falls into the “standard market” (i.e. technology companies, lawyers, etc.) then you qualify for general liability insurance. General liability insurance protects your business from a variety of things. Typically, your insurance agent can create a customized policy for you to include different types and amounts of coverage.

Excess Liability / Umbrella Insurance Policies

You’ve worked hard to build your business, and have chosen to purchase a liability insurance plan to protect it. In the event of a catastrophic or sizeable loss that exceeds your general liability insurance limits, umbrella insurance provides an extra layer of protection for your investment. An umbrella, or “excess liability” package will cover your expenses when your business’s general liability, automobile, or workers compensation limits are exhausted. Flatbed haulers insurance
