Whether you operate a small business, contractor operation, retail shop, restaurant, hospitality business, professional office, nonprofit, property-related company, or growing organization, Lowcountry Insurance can help you review commercial insurance options such as:
Business insurance needs can vary depending on what your company does, where it operates, what property it owns or leases, whether it has employees, whether vehicles are used for work, and what contracts, lenders, or lease agreements may require.
A contractor working across Georgetown and Horry Counties may need a different insurance conversation than a restaurant in Pawleys Island, a retail shop in Murrells Inlet, a hospitality business near the beach, a professional office, a nonprofit, or a service company working throughout the Grand Strand. Most businesses need to review some combination of the following policies.
Commercial property insurance is designed to help businesses respond financially to certain losses involving buildings, leased spaces, business personal property, equipment, inventory, machinery, tools, furniture, signage, computers, records, and other physical property used in daily operations.
Depending on your business, you may also want to discuss inland marine, goods-in-transit, contractor tools, equipment breakdown, builder’s risk, business income, wind and hail considerations, or flood insurance.
If you or your employees drive for business purposes, commercial auto insurance may be needed. This can apply to company-owned vehicles, employee-owned vehicles used for work, vans, trucks, delivery vehicles, contractor vehicles, or service vehicles.
A personal auto policy may not apply the same way when a vehicle is being used for business activity. Commercial auto insurance may help respond to certain vehicle-related claims connected to work use, depending on the policy terms, limits, and exclusions.
Workers’ compensation insurance, often called workers’ comp, is designed to provide certain wage replacement and medical benefits when employees experience qualifying job-related injuries or illnesses.
South Carolina businesses with employees should review how workers’ compensation requirements apply to their operations. Payroll, employee classifications, job duties, industry, and claims history can all affect the workers’ compensation conversation.
General liability insurance may help respond to certain claims involving bodily injury, property damage, products, completed work, personal injury, advertising injury, and related legal expenses.
For example, a customer may be injured at your business location. A contractor’s work may damage someone else’s property. A product sold by your business may be connected to an injury claim. General liability insurance can be an important part of a broader commercial insurance plan.
Businesses that provide advice, recommendations, professional work, consulting, design, administrative support, or other client-directed work may want to discuss professional liability insurance, also known as Errors and Omissions insurance.
This type of policy may help respond to certain claims involving alleged errors, missed deadlines, negligence, or financial loss related to professional work or advice, depending on the policy.
A business owners policy, often called a BOP, may be available for certain small businesses that meet carrier eligibility requirements. A BOP typically combines business property insurance and general liability insurance into one policy format.
Depending on the policy, business income insurance may also be included or available. A BOP may be worth discussing for qualifying offices, retailers, restaurants, small contractors, professional firms, and other businesses.
A major property loss can affect more than your building, equipment, or inventory. If your business cannot operate after a qualifying property loss, lost income and continuing expenses may create additional financial strain.
Business interruption insurance, also called business income insurance, may help replace certain lost income when a business is unable to operate because of qualifying property damage, subject to policy terms, limits, and exclusions.
Business insurance needs can vary by company, industry, location, property, employees, vehicles, and contracts.
