Leaving the brick-and-mortar office space for more economical means was the best decision you made for your company. Do you still need your commercial insurance plan, though? The Miao Insurance Services agents can help you understand why business insurance is more important now than ever.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"color:#000000\">What does commercial insurance cover?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\">Commercial insurance is a blanket term that encompasses various forms of business indemnity plans. Under the commercial insurance umbrella, a business owner can obtain coverage for:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color:#000000\">General Liability, where customers who are injured while patronizing the company receive compensation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color:#000000\">Auto Insurance, which operates like a standard auto insurance plan.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color:#000000\">Workers Compensation, which covers employees injured on the job. Workers compensation insurance is required by state law if you have an employee regardless of whether or not your business is a traditional brick-and-mortar or a virtual company.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color:#000000\">Business Interruption, where your insurance plan pays if you are forced to close for a day due to an unforeseen incident such as a power outage in Pleasanton, CA.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\">There are many other commercial insurance types that an agent at Miao Insurance Services can help you understand.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color:#000000\">Do you need commercial insurance for your at-home business?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\">Your company is susceptible to lawsuits and damages even if operated from your home. In fact, depending on the type of business you have established, you may find yourself at the center of more financial loss when operating a virtual company without insurance.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\">Home insurance does not cover items connected to your online business. Thus, you are at a loss if the garage floods and damages your products. You should also consider commercial insurance coverage that pays for legal fees if you are sued for giving bad advice that leads to losses for your client.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\">An at-home business does not mean you should drop your commercial insurance plan.
