Start with the work your business actually does
A restaurant, a contractor and a professional office can all need property and liability protection, but their exposures are not interchangeable. Equipment, customer activity, subcontractors, professional advice, alcohol service and work performed off-site can materially change the insurance discussion.
What an advisor will need to understand
- Your products, services and typical customers
- Locations, equipment, stock and mobile property
- Employees, subcontractors and vehicles
- Contracts, certifications and risk-control practices
- Prior claims and expected changes over the next policy term
The pages listed above organize common starting points by operation. They are educational, not a list of automatically included coverages. An advisor can help confirm which protections are relevant and which options are available from participating insurers.
Use the closest operational match as a starting point
Review the contractor insurance guide if crews, tools and changing job sites drive the risk, or the restaurant guide when food service, guests and alcohol are central. Professional premises can begin with the office package guide. If no operation is an exact match, use the broader coverage-type library to build the discussion around actual loss scenarios.
