Business Auto Insurance provides coverage that a standard Personal Auto policy cannot. If your business uses vehicles to operate, such as visiting job sites or transporting clients or materials, you likely need Commercial Auto Insurance to cover your vehicles and employees.
A Business Owner's Policy is one convenient package that combines commercial property insurance, general liability insurance, and business income insurance. You can add additional coverages or bundle other types of insurance policies to your BOP.

Generally, it's a good idea to review all of your insurance needs at least once a year. If you have any major business changes such as hiring an employee or adding a new product or service, give me a call and we can take a look at whether adding additional insurance for specific types of risk may make sense.
In most cases, business insurance is required by law. Most states require businesses with employees to obtain workers' compensation insurance. Businesses who own commercial vehicles or trucks must also be insured with commercial auto insurance. Depending on where you live, your state law may also require you to obtain insurance as part of the licensing process.
The size of your business, where you operate, gross income, types of services offered, the number of employees, and claim history determine the cost of insurance for your business. Most insurance companies will offer you a package deal for the coverage you want. If you want to know the exact cost to insure your salon, request a free business insurance quote today!
