Can I Customize My Policy?

Yes. Your business owners policy can be customized to address your commercial property, business personal property, or liability needs by adding an endorsement. An endorsement can either enhance or modify the coverage, depending on your requirements. Don’t know what you need? Our licensed experts are available to help you figure out which of these endorsements is right for you:

Industry Endorsements

Depending on the industry you’re in, there are specific needs that arise as part of conducting business. For example, a restaurant industry endorsement might cover food spoilage. A retail store endorsement might cover expenses from having to withdraw merchandise. A hotel or motel endorsement might increase coverage for outdoor fences and signs.

Risk-Specific Endorsements

Some businesses have inherent risks beyond what’s usually covered in a business owners insurance policy. There are dozens of risk-specific endorsements that can add an extra layer of protection when needed, like cyber coverage, garagekeepers’ legal liability, miscellaneous professional liability (E&O), and more.

Increased Coverage Limits

If you want even greater security and protection, standard coverage limits can often be increased.

Is a Business Owners Policy Right for My Small Business ?

While business owners coverage is not required by law, some client contracts or property leases might require you to have a general liability or property liability policy. In addition to the standard financial protections, a business owners policy from biBERK can help cover needs specific to your business.

 

Be Confident in Your Coverage

For example: Say you own a painting or construction business. On a regular job, one of your employees accidentally leaves the water running in a customer’s home, and it causes significant damage. Not only are you responsible for paying for the repairs, you also run the risk of being sued by the customer and having to pay legal fees. Expenses like these could come up at any time without warning, so without proper coverage, the business you’ve worked so hard to maintain could take a big hit financially.

How can I Reduce Costs?

Business owners insurance is very affordable. Even so, there are steps you can take to lower your insurance costs, including:

Choose biBERK

By working with a direct supplier of business owners insurance, you’re avoiding broker fees and other charges. Plus, our experts can help review your policies annually to ensure you have the right amount and type of coverage.

Save on Billing Fees

Pay your annual business owners insurance premium in full, or sign up for automatic payments at the beginning of the policy.

What’s not Covered by Professional Liability Insurance Companies?

Coverage provided by professional liability insurance is fairly comprehensive. However, there are a few things that aren’t covered with your policy. For starters, biBERK and other typical professional liability insurance companies don’t cover warranty or product guarantees your company makes. We also don’t provide coverage when a client is simply unhappy with the work you did. For coverage to apply, the claim must be the result of an error or omission. There are a few other exclusions including:

Illegal Acts or Costs of Defense for Criminal Prosecution

We’re here to protect you from financial risks resulting from unintentional, honest mistakes. Therefore, please understand that breaking the law is outside of the scope of what we can cover.

Employee Injuries and Related Costs

To pay for your employees’ health care bills and lost wages in the event of an on-the-job injury.

Regular Accidents That Aren’t Related to Your Expertise

Testing lorem ipsum here. Trips, falls, and other incidents can occur in any industry – but they’re covered.

Damages to Your Business Property

In order to protect your company’s assets, such as computers, tools, or other necessities, you’ll need a policy that offers property coverage, such a BOP policy or BOP (also called property & liability insurance).

What does PL insurance cost?

Typically, biBERK’s professional liability insurance policies start around $300 and can go up into the thousands. This cost is based on a number of factors, such as your specific industry, the level of coverage you choose, your years in business, number of employees, revenue, and the policy limits you need. Your professional liability insurance cost is an investment in protecting your business, but there are still ways you can further reduce the cost.

How do I Lower My Professional Liability Insurance Cost?

  • Purchase the right amount of coverage. The higher the amount of coverage you want, the higher your premiums will be. For example, all else being equal, $500,000 in coverage will cost less than $2 million in coverage.

  • Choose a higher deductible. Just like with auto insurance, higher deductibles mean lower premiums. Just be sure to carefully assess your needs and your budget.
