Insurance Remix: Rocking the Boat? When to Fine-Tune Your Business Coverage
Running a business is like being on a roller coaster—full of exhilarating highs and daunting lows. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities. While it may be tempting to think that choosing a business insurance policy is a one-and-done task, the truth is that businesses are constantly evolving, and insurance coverage needs to keep up. So, let’s use those changes in your business as cues to update your business insurance coverage. Here are some situations that should definitely prompt you to revisit your business insurance:
- The Location Shuffle: If your business started at home but has now moved to a rented space or a purchased building, it’s time to ensure your insurance coverage grows with you. As your financial and liability risks increase, a review of your business insurance becomes crucial.
- Gear Up and Amp Up: Whenever you make significant upgrades in inventory, equipment, or even add some slick company-owned vehicles, it’s time to give your business insurance a tune-up. With more at stake, it’s essential to protect against the growing risks that come with your expanding assets.
- Growth Groove: Sometimes, growth sneaks up on us. If your year-to-date sales are rocketing skyward, it’s a clear sign that it’s time to revisit your business insurance plan. Make sure you’re adequately covered as your business booms.
- Ch-Ch-Changes: Did you add a partner, buy out someone, or even go through the exciting process of incorporating? Well, guess what? Your business insurance should reflect those changes too. Don’t forget to trigger a review whenever there’s a shift in ownership or business structure.
Remember, it’s wise to review your business insurance annually, especially if any of the above changes have occurred. As independent insurance agents, our team of professionals is well-equipped to review policies from any company. So, if you’re due for a business insurance review, don’t hesitate to reach out to us today. Let’s rock your insurance coverage and keep your business sailing smoothly through the ever-changing tides!
