Frequently asked questions for launching a business

Personal insurance generally protects your home, car, and personal assets. Business insurance is designed to cover risks related to running a company, such as liability, property, employee coverage.

It’s a good idea to review coverage whenever your business changes. For example, if you hire employees, expand services, buy new equipment, or move to a new location.

Most home insurance policies don’t cover business activities. You may need separate business coverage or buy a policy add-on, depending on the type of work you do.

Key person insurance provides a payout to the business if an essential owner or employee passes away or becomes unable to work, helping the company manage financial impacts and continue operations.

Most of us carry some debt—for a home or a car—or on a credit card. When life goes as planned, these debts fit into your budget nicely. It’s when something unexpected happens that debt can become an issue. That’s where creditor insurance comes in; it can help cover your debt to help prevent it from becoming a burden to you or your family.

Without creditor insurance, you may have to rely on savings or other insurance you have to repay debt—and this can dramatically reduce the money you or your family can put towards other needs.

Find insurance for all your needs

Protecting your business is key to long-term success. The right coverage helps you stay resilient through challenges and opportunities.
