The only business insurance you’re legally required to have is workers’ comp if you have employees and commercial auto insurance for any business vehicles. Pretty much every state makes you get workers’ comp once you start hiring people, though the exact rules depend on where you are and how many employees you have. Commercial auto is also mandatory everywhere for business-owned cars, trucks, or vans. Everything else like general liability or professional liability isn’t technically required by law, but here’s the thing – your landlord, clients, or contracts will probably demand you have it anyway, so you’ll end up needing it to actually do business.

Honestly, it’s all over the place depending on what kind of business you run, where you’re located, how many people work for you, and what coverage you actually need. Insurance companies look at tons of factors when setting your price – your industry, location, employee count, and how much coverage you want. Most small businesses start with something called a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) because it bundles the essential stuff together and costs less than buying everything separately.

You should definitely check your policy every year when it’s time to renew, but some businesses need to look at it more often – maybe every few months if you’re in a risky industry. Any time something big changes in your business, like hiring your first employee, buying expensive equipment, opening a new location, or completely changing what you do, that’s when you need to call your agent right away. Don’t wait until renewal time if you’ve made major changes, because you might not be covered for your new risks.

You want enough coverage to actually protect you if something goes wrong, but you don’t want to overpay for coverage you’ll never use. Think about how much your business assets are worth, what kind of lawsuits you might face in your industry, and what your contracts require. If you own expensive equipment or could face big lawsuits, you need higher limits. Your agent should help you figure this out based on businesses similar to yours, but ultimately you know your risks better than anyone.

Yeah, you can cancel anytime, but it’s probably going to cost you. Most insurance companies charge a cancellation fee if you bail before your policy expires, and they’ll also charge you more in the future because they see you as someone who cancels policies. Plus, and this is important, you’re leaving your business completely unprotected while you’re uninsured. Unless you’re closing your business permanently, canceling early is usually a bad idea.
