There are many types of commercial insurance available to businesses, and the type of policy you choose will depend on the nature of your business and the risks involved.
Here are some of the most common types of commercial insurance policies.
- Commercial building insurance
- General property insurance
- Public liability insurance
- Workers’ compensation insurance
- Business interruption insurance

No matter the scale of damage, commercial building insurance can help your business get on with its day-to-day operations and recover any lost incomes or expenses.

This includes activities that result in the loss of or damage to a third party’s belongings, and injury or harm incurred by a third party while on your premises.

Business interruption insurance helps recover your financial losses in the event that your company experiences a significant disruption which causes a temporary closure of your business operations.
If you use vehicles for commercial purposes, you may need to take out motor vehicle insurance.
Depending on the type of coverage you choose, this insurance can cover the cost of repairs or replacement if your vehicle is damaged or stolen, and also look after your business in the case of third party property damage or injuries.

The right balance of commercial insurance policies will differ for every business.
For example, if you’re a retail business that operates out of a small warehouse and employs staff to complete weekly deliveries, you’ll probably want your coverage to include both commercial building and motor vehicle insurance.
On the other hand, if your workforce mainly works from home, you’ll most likely want to secure some form of standard workers’ compensation and cyber liability insurance.
If you’re unsure about what type of commercial insurance is most appropriate for your business’s needs, simply give us a call and we’ll be able to assess your situation.
