When your business changes, revisit your insurance questions
A new employee, vehicle, location or contract can change the risks your business faces. Use this checklist to prepare for a business insurance review.
A business can change faster than its insurance paperwork. A new hire or vehicle may seem routine day to day, but it can raise questions about how your current policy describes your operations. A review is a chance to catch up.
New people
Hiring an employee or changing the work your team performs can affect the questions you ask about workers' compensation and liability. Describe the actual work, where it happens, and who performs it when you speak with your agent.
New places or property
A second location, renovated workspace, or new equipment may mean your business property information is out of date. Gather a list of changes so you can discuss available property coverage and limits.
Vehicles used for work
A vehicle purchased for the business, different drivers, or a change in deliveries can prompt a commercial auto discussion. Explain who uses the vehicle and how it is used instead of assuming a personal policy addresses business activity.
New contracts or services
A client agreement may ask for particular insurance terms. Bring the agreement to a conversation with your agent and ask what your existing policy does and does not provide. Changing the services you offer is another reason to review liability questions.
Keep the review practical
A short summary of your operations, employees, vehicles, locations, and existing policies is enough to begin.
