Your Commercial Insurance Options
When you are starting a business in Rhode Island, it is important to know your options — and which are required by law. These insurance options include:
- Workers’ compensation: If you own a small business in Rhode Island with one or more employees, you are required by law to have workers’ compensation insurance. This insurance provides coverage for medical care and lost wages to employees who are injured on the job.
- General liability: This insurance — also called commercial liability or business liability — is often required to obtain a commercial property lease. It protects a business should a customer or other visitor to your business be injured on your property or should their property be damaged while they are on your property. Without this insurance, you may be required to pay for any claims out of your own pocket.
- Commercial property insurance: This option will protect your businesses’ physical location — whether you rent or own it — and the property or equipment within the space.
- Business income insurance: If your business has to close due to damage to your property, this insurance can help protect you from lost income.
- Excess liability insurance: Commercial liability insurance — also called umbrella insurance — will add protection in the event of a catastrophic event that isn’t sufficiently covered by your primary insurance.
