INSURANCE FOR YOUR BUSINESS

Business enterprises today are too diverse and dynamic to attempt to classify them here. As a business owner/operator you are constantly challenged with having to manage your exposure to risk. Of course, some risks can be transferred to an insurer through the purchase of insurance. The commercial insurance staff of Central Agencies have the depth of experience and training to understand not only the technical side of insurance, but also the practical application as to how it should best be applied to your business. The more common areas of business insurance are listed below, but this is a brief list:

1.Property
Probably the type of insurance which most insurance buyers think about first. Business property varies greatly with the type of business, and can include:

  • Stock
  • Equipment and Tenant's Improvements
  • Property in Transit
  • Computer Equipment
  • Property of others in your care, custody or control

2.Income Protection
An essential component of your insurance protection strategy should be the coverage against loss or interruption of business income. This coverage ensures that your income stream will carry on even though your business may not be able to function due to the happening of an insured peril. Lack of this insurance (or adequate limits) is one of the leading reasons businesses fail to recover after an otherwise insured loss.

3.Liability
The escalating frequency of litigation, combined with the associated costs and of course what appears to be no upper limit to the size of legal liability settlements underscore the absolute necessity for this coverage. Whether your business is to retail, wholesale, import, export, transport, manufacture, warehouse, consult, design, build, repair, or demolish, or anything in between, the commercial insurance group at Central Agencies can offer solutions for you. We understand business as well as the business of insurance.

5.Mechanical Breakdown
Your business may not only be vulnerable to financial loss from fire, or earthquake, but also from the breakdown of key components in your production process. Computers, ovens, conveyors, air cooling systems, and printing systems are just a few examples of where a business may be at risk for breakdown insurance. Downtime from a mechanical breakdown need not be an uninsured event.
