Business Insurance For The Smart Businessman

By Hedrick Lepsch


You are a new start up business and money is tight. You may not want to spend some of your extra profit on mundane and boring things such as insurance but you will be happy you did when the bad times start rolling in.

This is the wrong time to decide if you are covered. Insurance can help keep you safe in the times of trouble that roll your way. Below are some of the benefits and why you need to be covered for the worst.

Other fluids, such as the engine oil, power steering fluid, brake fluid, engine coolant, and transmission fluid are all vital components to a properly maintained vehicle. However, for those who do not consider themselves "car people" knowing how and when to check these fluid levels, and refill or replace them if necessary, can seem like a giant hurdle.

Losing your assets such as vehicles, buildings, machines, and any other forms of assets that you may have can be absolutely devastating to any new start up business or even a business that has many years of experience. Getting a good hazard insurance will help you sleep easier at night when you know that you won't be sunk from Mother Nature's wrath.

This is an important one. People are accident-prone. Accidents happen and no matter where they happen someone can is up for blame. If you have uneven concrete steps up to your home and someone trips, you can be liable for their medical bills because it was on your property. This type of insurance helps so that you can pay for the bills that will be associated with the medical expenses. Something to watch out for though is that many companies have a limit. Make sure you are aware of this because you will have to pay what is after that.

Check a car's engine oil levels by first locating the oil dipstick by consulting the vehicle's owner's manual and removing the stick, wiping it clean of the oil residue that is currently on it, and replacing the dipstick (this enables an accurate reading of the oil level as the oil could have sloshed around while the car was in motion and therefor give an inaccurate reading on the dipstick). Immediately remove the dipstick again to check the true oil level; the residue oil should be above the crosshatches on the dipstick to be at sufficient levels.

Another large thing that you are liable for is the event of being sued. In this kind of event, you are held liable for tons of legal fees in hiring professionals to help defend you, plus any other fees that may arise from being sued. Don't let these sink your ship and make sure you are covered with good commercial general liability (CGL) insurance.

No matter what you decide to do as far as homeowners insurance, go and get some kind of basic coverage at the very least. Whether you live in Seattle or Monroe, homeowners insurance will you give you the peace of mind you need to know that your house is safe.
