FAQs about small business insurance in BC

Coverages on a small business insurance policy vary depending on your industry and needs, but most basic policies will include:

Business Liability

Liability is the financial responsibility of your business resulting from damage caused to a third party’s property or bodily injury. Whether your company has four employees or 40, every business risks being responsible for damage or injury to others. Think of it as your business’s first line of defence.

Commercial Property

Business property insurance protects business owners from the most critical physical assets of their business and, in turn, peace of mind to keep their business running. The unexpected can happen, and business property coverage looks after protecting your assets if there’s a loss. To learn more about business property insurance, click here.

Business Interruption

A vital element of commercial insurance is the timeline between a loss occurring and greeting clients back to your business. That’s where business interruption coverage comes into play. Your business’s downtime can be covered, so the financial impact of being closed isn’t detrimental to the company you’ve worked hard to build. Business Interruption insurance goes hand in hand with your Property coverage. To learn more about Business Interruption insurance, click here.

Every business is different, which means your risk will vary. We’ll take the time to understand your small business and ensure you have the right coverage to stay protected.

Regardless of industry, business type, or earnings, all businesses risk unexpected losses. As a business owner, it’s wise to have your risks covered with the support of a comprehensive insurance policy for your small business.

The cost of small business insurance will vary based on factors such as the size of your business, industry, location, and the types of coverage required.
