Bundle and save

Save up to 5% when you buy two or more Hiscox business insurance products. Also, by choosing a higher deductible (the initial amount you pay for each claim), you can lower your monthly premium. It’s only fair, as you’re taking on more of the risk.

What does small business insurance cover?

It all depends on the type of coverage you choose, but generally, a small business insurance policy can protect your business from property damage, financial losses, workplace injuries, and more. Common coverages include protection against theft, fire, wind damage, and liability claims if someone is injured at your business. Business interruption insurance (under a business owner’s policy) can help replace lost income if your operations are affected by a covered event. Many businesses also add coverage for data breaches and cyberattacks, as well as errors and omissions (E&O) insurance for professional liability. Your coverage limits, deductibles, and exclusions vary by policy, so it’s important to get the right protection for your business.

Who needs small business insurance?

First, what is considered a small business? A small business is typically defined as an independently owned and operated company with fewer than 500 employees and limited annual revenue, though size standards vary by industry. Small businesses can take many forms, including sole proprietorships, partnerships, LLCs, and corporations. Factors like industry classification, revenue, and number of employees all help determine if a business qualifies as small.

Regardless of a business’s size, structure, or industry, small businesses encounter unique risks depending on the type of work they do. Hiscox provides small business insurance for hundreds of professions. Here are some of them.
