You may have heard of commercial insurance, which protects your business, its employees, and your organization&#8217;s physical assets. Various types of commercial insurance policies exist, including general liability, commercial vehicle, workers&#8217; compensation, umbrella, and business property. Depending upon the size and type of the business, commercial vehicles, workers&#8217; compensation, property, and general liability policies may be required in Illinois. Speak with an insurance agency, such as Green Family Insurance Inc. to determine your needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Definitions &amp; Policy Types<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When you take out a commercial insurance policy, you&#8217;ll receive a certificate of insurance reflecting the amounts and types of coverages issued to your business. The certificate of insurance may list one or more of the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>General Liability<\/strong>: Protects your business against hazards such as a client slipping and falling at your location.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Property<\/strong>: Protects against losses and damages to the organization&#8217;s physical property, such as buildings and equipment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Commercial Vehicle<\/strong>: Similar to personal auto insurance, this type of policy protects fleet vehicles against damage and drivers against claims resulting from accidents.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Workers&#8217; Compensation<\/strong>: Protects the business against accidents sustained by employees while on the job. This can include medical payments for injuries and loss of wages.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Umbrella<\/strong>: Protects against additional liability claims that might go above and beyond existing general liability limits.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Certain types of businesses are considered at greater risk than others. Establishments that deal with alcohol, vehicles, and events are a few examples. Lower risk establishments may not need the same level of liability or property coverage. Small businesses without employees may also be exempt from taking out workers&#8217; compensation policies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re opening up a business in Illinois, check with a licensed insurance agent to see which policies are mandatory.
