You’ve Worked Hard to Build Your Business
Make Sure It’s Properly Protected
Creating and managing a business is a huge investment. Don’t let your time, money and energy go to waste by not carrying a proper commercial insurance policy for your business. Commercial insurance is meant to protect you, your company and your employees from the long list of risks out there that could threaten your ability to do business.
Business Insurance Edmonton FAQs
If your building is vacant or unoccupied, there could be an increased risk to vandalism, theft, water damage and fire. Be sure to contact your broker immediately should your premises be unoccupied.
Here are some tips to help protect your business while it is vacant or temporarily unoccupied:
- Check the building at least twice a day. We recommend that all visits are documented
- Activate alarm systems
- Shut off main water valve
- Ensure that the heat is on and operational
- Maintain normal lighting for both interior and exterior
It is a misconception that only larger businesses and corporations are prone to cyber-attacks or hacking incidents. The truth is that smaller organizations are often more vulnerable to such attacks because they don’t have the same precautionary measures in place. If your business stores a large amount of customer information, or uses a vast data storage system, then cyber insurance may be something you may want to consider having in your policy.
Unfortunately, home insurance does not cover claims that are related to your business. It is important that home-based businesses have a policy that covers for those business operations. Common coverages include general liability insurance and business property insurance. General liability covers for damages to the business property, or lawsuits in the case that a customer is injured on your premises. Business property insurance could cover the cost of repairs for damages to your home.
There are commercial policies that can cover for damages resulting from overland flooding. Speak to your broker today to see what kind of options are available.
Should you have to cease operations due to a fire breakout or unexpected event, business interruption insurance can help cover for lost revenue and expenses incurred due to the temporary shut down (ie. employee wages).
