Business Insurance Guidance Built Around Your Risk
Every business has different risks, responsibilities, and coverage needs. Nauyokas Insurance Agency helps Indiana business owners review their operations, understand important policy details, and make informed decisions as their business changes.
Key Business Insurance Coverage Options
Business insurance can include several types of coverage depending on your industry, property, employees, vehicles, contracts, and daily operations. Nauyokas Insurance Agency helps Indiana business owners review coverage options and make informed decisions based on the risks their business may face.
General Liability Insurance
Helps protect your business if someone claims you caused bodily injury, property damage, or personal injury. This is one of the most common types of business liability insurance.
Example: A customer slips in your office or store and files a claim for medical bills.
Commercial Property Insurance
Helps protect business property such as buildings, equipment, furniture, inventory, and supplies from covered losses.
Example: A fire damages your office equipment, inventory, or business space.
Commercial Auto Insurance
Helps cover vehicles used for business purposes, including liability if an accident happens while a vehicle is being used for work.
Example: An employee rear-ends another driver while making a business delivery.
Business Owner’s Policy
A Business Owner’s Policy, often called a BOP, may combine general liability and commercial property coverage into one policy for qualifying businesses.
Example: A small retail shop needs coverage for customer injuries, business property, and covered property damage.
Professional Liability Insurance
Also known as errors and omissions insurance, this coverage helps protect service-based businesses if a client claims your work, advice, or recommendation caused financial harm.
Example: A client claims your professional service led to a costly mistake and files a claim.
Cyber Liability Insurance
Helps protect businesses from certain costs related to cyberattacks, data breaches, client notification, recovery, and legal expenses.
Example: A hacker gains access to customer data and your business needs help responding to the breach.
Workers’ Compensation
Helps provide benefits if an employee is injured or becomes ill because of their work, including medical treatment and a portion of lost wages.
Example: An employee falls while stocking shelves and needs medical care and time away from work.
Business Interruption Insurance
May help replace lost income and certain operating expenses if a covered loss forces your business to temporarily close or slow operations.
Example:A covered fire repair keeps your business closed for several weeks.
Umbrella or Excess Liability
Adds an extra layer of liability protection when a covered claim exceeds the limits of an underlying policy.
Example: A serious lawsuit exceeds your general liability limit and triggers additional coverage.
