If your business faces unique circumstances that could result in a lawsuit, theft, or damage, you may benefit from adding specialty insurance to your existing insurance policy. Specialty insurance provides protection that a standard business insurance policy would not provide.
Specialty Insurance
Different types of specialty insurance provide high-risk businesses with adequate protection. Specialty coverage can alleviate out-of-pocket costs that a business owner may face.
Variables That May Require More Coverage
- Expensive or unique inventory
- High-priced equipment onsite
- Potential for injuries
- Crime-prone location
- Potential for damage occurring onsite
- Use of chemicals and other dangerous items
Insurance Assessment
The list above outlines some variables that may convince you to carry specialty coverage. This list doesn’t cover everything that would require specialty coverage, but it provides a rough idea of what types of things require more coverage.
Conducting an insurance assessment will allow you to determine your business’s risks. This assessment will uncover any dangerous conditions or additional risk factors that would make it beneficial to carry more insurance coverage.
The assessment you conduct should consider any past incidents you faced as a business owner. Suppose you have faced many lawsuits in the past, for instance. In that case, you may decide that your business needs specialty insurance coverage to increase the liability protection your place of business is equipped with.
Refer to the insurance assessment results when you compare different types of specialty insurance coverage.
