- 01
General Liability
The foundation of commercial protection.General Liability insurance protects your business from claims involving third-party bodily injury, property damage, and personal/advertising injury. If a client slips at your office, a contractor damages a client's property, or someone claims your advertising was harmful, GL coverage responds.Usually needed byContractors and trades; Retail and service businesses; Any business that interacts with the public; Businesses with clients, customers, or vendors on-site.
- 02
Commercial Auto
Protection for business vehicles and operations.Commercial Auto coverage protects vehicles used for business — whether it's a single company car, a service van, a box truck, or a fleet. Personal auto policies typically exclude business use, so this is a critical gap to close.Usually needed byTrucking and transportation companies; Contractors with work vehicles; Delivery and courier services; Businesses with company-owned vehicles.
- 03
Workers' Compensation
Required coverage that protects you and your employees.Workers' Compensation insurance covers medical expenses and a portion of lost wages when an employee is injured on the job.

- 04
Umbrella / Excess Liability
Extra protection when primary limits aren't enough.An Umbrella (or Excess Liability) policy kicks in when a claim exceeds the limits of your underlying policies — General Liability, Commercial Auto, or Employers Liability. It provides an additional layer of coverage at a relatively low cost, and is often required by larger clients or contracts.Usually needed byBusinesses with large contracts; Higher-risk operations; Businesses with significant assets to protect; Those with commercial auto or GL approaching limit exposure.
- 05
Businessowner's Policy (BOP)
Bundled protection designed for small to mid-size businesses.A Businessowner's Policy combines General Liability and Commercial Property coverage into one package, often at a discount over buying them separately.

- 06
Cyber Liability
Coverage for the digital risks businesses face today.Cyber Liability insurance protects businesses from losses related to data breaches, ransomware attacks, and other cyber incidents.

- 07
Professional Liability (E&O)
Protection against claims of professional errors.Professional Liability — also known as Errors & Omissions (E&O) — covers claims that your business made a mistake, provided faulty advice, or failed to deliver services as promised.

- 08
Commercial Property
Protection for your physical business assets.Commercial Property insurance covers your building (if owned), business equipment, inventory, furniture, and other physical assets against fire, theft, vandalism, and certain weather events.
