And if you don’t see your particular industry or niche listed above, we’re still very happy to research and provide a package that is custom designed just for your needs.
Why You Need Protection
The U.S. Small Business Administration defines small businesses as those with fewer than 500 employees or less than $7 million in total annual receipts. Businesses that fall into this category must prepare for two broad types of liability:
- Internal. This can include everything from on-the-job injuries to discrimination lawsuits. Even if the business is not at fault, legal fees add up quickly.
- External. The possibilities are nearly limitless, from a customer slipping and falling on your property to a client losing money after taking your professional advice.
The frequency and expense of small-business lawsuits can be sobering:
