Small businesses make up the backbone of the Phoenix Valley. Business Insurance helps keep these operations going when things do not go as planned. Because every business is different, the exact coverage needs can vary. Still, most companies share a few common concerns, such as property damage, lawsuits, employee injuries, or interruptions that slow operations.
Peoples Insurance supports many types of small businesses by reviewing their risks, looking at the carriers that work well with their industry, and helping them choose plans that fit their goals.
Business Owners Policy
A Business Owners Policy, often called a BOP, combines important coverages into one package. It usually includes general liability, which can help when someone is injured on your property or claims harm due to your work. It also includes property coverage for your building, tools, inventory, or other items, depending on the plan.
A BOP may also include business interruption coverage. This may help replace lost income when your business cannot operate due to a covered loss. Many small businesses start with a BOP and then add other policies as needed.
Commercial Auto Insurance
Businesses that use cars, vans, or trucks need Commercial Auto Insurance. This coverage is designed for business driving, which often comes with different risks than personal travel. A business may have employees behind the wheel, carry tools, or travel across the region for service calls.
Commercial Auto Insurance can include liability, collision, and comprehensive coverage, depending on the carrier. Peoples Insurance can help review your fleet or single vehicle to see which plan makes sense.
General Liability Insurance
General Liability Insurance helps protect your business from claims related to injuries, property damage, or advertising harm. Even a small incident can lead to large costs, and this type of policy helps reduce that risk. Many landlords and contractors ask for proof of liability coverage before doing business, so it can also help with contract requirements.
Coverage limits vary, and Peoples Insurance can help you decide which options are likely to be the right fit for your size and type of business.
Workers Compensation Insurance
Most Arizona businesses with employees are required to have Workers Compensation Insurance. This policy helps cover medical care and lost wages when an employee is hurt at work. It also helps protect the business, since the system is designed to reduce lawsuits related to workplace injuries.
Premiums depend on the type of work your employees do. Peoples Insurance can help you review your classifications and look for carriers that fit your industry.
Commercial Umbrella Insurance
A Commercial Umbrella policy works much like a Personal Umbrella, but for a business. It provides added liability protection above your main policies. Many businesses choose this type of coverage to help guard against large, unexpected events that could impact their operations.
