This article about the insurance needs of pizza delivery companies came out this weekend in conjunction with the Superbowl, but the advice is good for any new business starting up. Don’t overlook your need for insurance. While the probablility of a loss may be small, your potential liability exposure could be large enough to sink not only your business, but also your personal finances, as well.
There are insurance companies that specialize in hard-to-insure industries (such as the pizza delivery mentioned in this article), and it is usually possible to purchase the insurance your business startup will need at a competitive price. An insurance agent or broker will be able to help you assess the risks that your company is exposed to, how likely those losses are to happen, and help you put together an insurance policy that will cover what needs to be covered in a cost-effective manner. So, as you are planning to start a business, don’t forget to consider your insurance needs!
