Why do e-commerce businesses need insurance?
Every successful e-commerce business strategy includes addressing potential legal hurdles. These are not the same risks that brick-and-mortar businesses face. A physical business might experience a loss if severe weather damages their property. A customer might slip and fall at one of their locations. While insurance covers these claims, online businesses and stores face unique challenges.
In an industry that is based on trust, online threats can occur every day. It is not uncommon for a business to have website accessibility issues or power outages. Security threats can cause customer data breaches or business interruptions. They can create shipping delays that impact your on-time rates. This can lead to increases in refund requests, negative feedback, and churning. These exposures can cause losses in profits and your customer base. However, with the right insurance, you can mitigate these types of risks.
Mitigating losses to your operation lets you focus on the important things. You can turn your attention to business continuity, growth, and expansion. And, when you are ready to scale, Hiscox offers specialized lines of insurance coverage.
