Who Needs Small Business Insurance?
Insurance for small business owners is essential. But business insurance is important for anyone who owns a company of any size. You may work out of your home, or you might have multiple locations. You may only drive a personal car, or you could have a small fleet of vehicles. Maybe you only need a computer and basic office equipment, or your business might require lots of specialized machinery. Having the right amount of small business insurance for your company can provide financial protection should anything unexpected happen.

What are the Different Types of Small Business Insurance?
At biBERK, we offer seven different types of insurance for small business owners like you. Depending on the location of your business and other factors, certain types might be better for you than others.
Workers' Compensation insurance
This insurance helps protect your business if an employee is injured, contracts an illness, or dies as a result of an incident on the job. We offer the very best workers’ comp insurance for small businesses. It can cover medical costs, legal fees, and lost wages due to the injury.
Workers' Compensationchevron_rightGeneral Liability insurance
Also known as commercial liability insurance, a general liability insurance for small businesses is important. The policy covers damages and legal costs associated with injury claims from customers and other people you don't employ, damage to other people's property that was caused by your business, and medical costs associated with these incidents. It also covers product liability, libel, slander, and copyright infringement. Plus, there are endorsements you can add to customize your policy, including cyber, hired and non-owned auto liability, employment-related practices liability, and employee benefits liability.
General Liabilitychevron_rightBusiness Owners Policy
Also called property & liability insurance, a business owners policy (BOP) combines general liability insurance (for things like non-employee injuries and customer property damage) with coverage for your company’s property. You'll get protection for the building you own, space you lease, and any property needed to run your business, while also receiving coverage for things like business interruption. This can replace lost income, as well as cover other costs associated with getting your business back up and running after suffering property damage, such as the use of a temporary location. You can also tailor your BOP with add-ons including cyber, hired and non-owned auto liability, employment-related practices liability, and employee benefits liability.
Business Owners Policychevron_rightProfessional Liability insurance
Also known as errors and omissions (E&O) insurance, this policy could protect you from the cost of damages and legal fees when someone claims your professional service caused financial harm to them or their business. Coverage includes both mistakes on the part of your business (errors) and the failure to perform a service (omissions). Professional liability insurance should be considered if your business provides professional advice, offers a professional service, or has contractual requirements for the coverage.
Professional Liabilitychevron_rightCommercial Auto insurance
If your company owns or leases vehicles, this policy protects your business. This type of insurance can provide coverage for your legal fees and the medical costs of others if your employee is at fault in an accident. It can also cover the cost of physical damage to your vehicles. And, it can provide coverage even if the vehicle is used for personal activities outside of its primary business use.
Commercial Autochevron_rightCyber insurance
This coverage can be purchased as an add-on to a general liability, professional liability, or BOP policy. It helps cover costs related to system hacks or data security breaches in which sensitive information has been stolen and fraud has occurred or there is a reasonable expectation that it might occur.
Cyber Insurancechevron_rightUmbrella insurance
Every insurance policy you purchase has a maximum value that it will cover in the event of an incident. Small business umbrella insurance adds another layer of protection: it can cover costs that exceed the limit of another liability policy, subject to its own limit. Without it, you may be responsible for anything over your policy limit. Business liability suits can easily exceed the actual value of many small businesses, so we highly recommend an umbrella policy to protect your company.
