Service Business
Small and medium insurance solutions for business professionals
If you're in the service business, you need insurance that covers any business situation that could threaten your livelihood. You can count on A-Z Insurance to get you the best coverage for your growing business, whether you operate yours in a retail space, office environment or even remotely.
Your A-Z Insurance broker will help you select what's relevant to your business and what is not. Let's have a look at some of the most popular coverage options for businesses:
-
The building you own and all of its content; if you lease it, your content and the improvements you've made.
-
The vehicles you own or lease, and the vehicles your employees use for business purposes
-
The revenues you stand to lose if your business has to temporarily shut down operations
-
The liability of your business and its employees when someone is injured or their belongings are damaged.
Do you give professional advice, formally and informally?
Know that if you are a licensed professional, one that provides a professional opinion for a living (architect, engineer, consultant, designer, lawyer, real estate agent...), you need to have professional liability coverage. In many cases, this is a requirement of your trade, but if you are uncertain, just ask one of our brokers.
Errors & Omissions coverage (a synonym for professional liability) comes into play when a lawsuit is filed against a professional for negligence and wrongdoing. In other words, when you've provided the wrong advice, and the claimant can prove that this had disastrous consequences.
