These are property insurance, liability insurance and Workers Compensation. There are a variety of reasons that business owners should protect themselves by having all three types of business insurance. The importance cannot be understated. While it is essential in order to ensure financial well-being in any case, it is even more important if the business owner is leasing or renting a building. This is because operating a business from property that is not owned by the business owner often opens up the potential for added liability and therefore increases the financial risk on the part of the business owner.
Property insurance is an essential portion of business insurance in order to protect not only the physical property, but also the contents that exist within that property. Without adequate property insurance business owners run the risk of losing everything they have worked for. This could be for a variety of reasons, ranging from property loss due to storm damage to a building fire.
