Financial Institution Insurance

Your customers trust you with their money, you need financial institution insurance that you can trust.

Addressing your financial institution’s insurance needs.

It’s crucial that you have an insurance plan that helps protect your complex risk. Having insurance may help protect your day-to-day operations. It may also help with managing the financial and reputational risks your business faces. We understand that your needs can vary depending on the type of clients you serve and the business you conduct. We also understand your specific financial institution’s insurance needs. Here are some examples of businesses that may benefit from financial institution insurance:

Your name is important. Protect it.

In today’s world, many things can go wrong that affect the reputation of a business. In the financial industry, a bad reputation can seriously impact your bottom line, and not in a good way. Reputational risk insurance may provide funds to cover crisis management and pay for reputation restoration efforts. It may also protect you from business losses on account of reputational damage.

We help you get the liability insurance you need.

Your directors and officers carry a lot of weight on their shoulders. This includes the risk of being accused of mismanagement. Directors and officers liability insurance (D&O) may help protect those steering the ship. Similarly, lawsuits can arise from lending activities, including class-action demands and counteractions against foreclosures. Specialized liability coverage to defend such actions is a must.

Cover your business in case of employee fraud.

Financial institutions have access to tremendous amounts of money. That’s why you do everything in your power to only hire the best employees and screen out potential thieves. However, there is still a need to protect your business against dishonesty, forgery, and other fraudulent activities committed by employees. Having a commercial crime insurance policy in place may help protect you in these instances.

Financial institutions are prime targets for cybercrime.

Most businesses can benefit from cyber liability insurance, and financial institutions are no exception. There are many kinds of cyber attacks, as well as data breaches. The losses in such cases can grow very quickly. This includes costs to repair systems, notification requirements, identity protection for those affected, and other expenses.

Financial institutions need common policies, too.

Coverages like general liability, commercial property (including broadened coverage for ATMs), business auto, employment practice liability, workers’ compensation insurance, and more are also necessary for financial institutions. When conducting risk management reviews, standard business insurance needs should not be overlooked. A comprehensive review of policies should be conducted regularly to make sure there are no gaps.

Wholesaler and Distributor Insurance

Secure your business and inventory with wholesaler and distributor insurance.

In stock. In transit. At risk.

Wholesalers and distributors face some special risks by the nature of their business. Simply having large amounts of stock on the premises or in transit increases the financial risks of fire, flood, or theft. Commercial property insurance helps protect your inventory. However, you then have to factor in the costs and claims for compensation from the effects the damaged or lost stock has on your customers’ supply chains. And because you are the distribution part of the supply chain, you need coverage if something goes wrong with the products you are storing and transporting. With product recall and product liability insurance, your business may have coverage should there be a recall or liability claim against you for a product you distributed. In addition, there is also the risk of transporting products from point A to point B, so having cargo and transit insurance may help protect products that you purchase or sell while on the move.

Three areas of insurance coverage in one policy.

Specialty insurance policies for wholesalers and distributors are usually highly customizable to your particular needs, including having appropriate coverage limits to reflect the high value of a full warehouse of stock. Usually, you’ll have three basic components: commercial property insurance to help cover the stock itself; protection against loss of income if your facility is put out of action with business income insurance; and general liability insurance to help cover claims for injury or property damage visitors suffer while on your premises or your delivery staff cause elsewhere. Here are some businesses that may benefit from a wholesaler and distributor insurance policy:

Additional coverages options are available.

You’ll also usually have the option to add additional types of coverage such as protection against a data breach, human resources and employee claims, loss of power or communication at your facility, or damage to equipment that you have leased. This includes coverages such as cyber liability, employment practice liability, business interruption, and systems breakdown insurance. The needs of your particular business may vary, but these general business insurance solutions may benefit you.

Veterinary Office Insurance

You care for the animals. We’ll cover your business with veterinary office insurance.

The risks of running a veterinary office.

Caring for animals is no easy task and the business of that care comes with very specific risks. Protecting your veterinary office by obtaining the proper insurance coverage is essential. To start, you need the basic policies that most businesses do. This includes general liability, commercial umbrella, and cyber liability insurance. In addition, you’ll want to insure against losses that might cause your business to temporarily shut down, which is why a business interruption policy should be strongly considered.

Addressing the specialized risks.

The equipment veterinarians need can range from mundane to very specific, but all of it should be insured. Replacing the high-value equipment needed for your practice can be quite costly and needs to be properly insured. If your office also boards, hospitalizes, or transports animals, animal bailee insurance can protect you in the event an unfortunate incident should occur resulting in injury to an animal. Simple business insurance just isn’t adequate to cover the risks veterinarians face.

What is animal bailee insurance?

This is coverage for pet businesses that take their customers’ pets into their care, custody, and control and helps cover the costs related to the injury, death, or loss of a pet.

Do you need veterinary malpractice coverage?

Your customers trust you with their pets to care for them, but there are risks of mistakes and negligence that can cause a pet owner to sue your practice. With veterinary malpractice coverage, you may be covered for the associated legal costs.

Malpractice and license defense.

Any veterinary practice can be faced with a malpractice lawsuit or a complaint to the state licensing bureau. These claims must be defended, even frivolous and unfounded ones. This defense is likely to be expensive. Hiring attorneys who are familiar with specialized knowledge of veterinarians will be required. Veterinary office insurance is available to help pay for this. Additionally, should damages or fees be awarded, your veterinarian insurance policy will make the funds available.

Insurance for the people in your workplace, too.

There’s always a risk that employees can be injured on the job, and veterinary offices are no exception. Caring for animals, particularly sick or injured ones, can lead to someone getting bitten. Scalpels, needles, and other medical tools also carry the risk of injury. Workers’ compensation insurance is often mandatory, but it’s important in that it can pay for the medical bills of an employee who gets hurt or sick on the job.

Warehousing and Logistics Insurance

When you run warehouses and logistics, you’re faced with a lot of moving parts. That’s where warehousing and logistics insurance comes in.

Protection for your expensive and necessary equipment.

Your business relies on the equipment you use to keep running. From conveyor belts and forklifts to sorters and more, if even one part of your process breaks down or malfunctions, your business could face many unexpected costs. Equipment breakdown insurance as part of your comprehensive warehousing and logistics insurance coverage can help cover repair and replacement costs—and sometimes the costs of damaged goods—so you can be back up and running in no time.

What happens if you or a contingent business shuts down?

Warehousing and logistics involve a lot of fine-tuned processes, not only within your business but with the contingent businesses you rely on. If you or a contingent business is forced to shut down or relocate due to a covered peril, you could face significant financial losses during that downtime. When putting together your warehousing and logistics insurance plan, investing in business interruption insurance and contingent business interruption insurance may help keep you protected from unexpected and covered perils. Here are the different types of warehouses that may benefit from this type of policy:

There is room for error everywhere.

As mentioned before, your warehousing and logistics business relies on well-planned operations. From tracking inventory to processing shipments, there is a lot of room for error in your business. For example, a delay in a shipment could result in a breach of contract. What happens then when you are held liable? Errors and omissions liability insurance (E&O) offers coverage to help with the costs of legal defenses and paying damages resulting from E&O claims, making E&O coverage an important part of your warehousing and logistics insurance policy.

Don’t forget the standard business coverages.

There are some business insurance products you’ll likely want to consider, regardless of your industry. Commercial umbrella insurance offers protection beyond the limits of some of your other policies. Commercial property insurance can help protect the property your business owns or leases, including buildings, inventory, equipment, and more. A cyber liability insurance policy offers protection against the financial losses associated with data breaches.

If you are in need of warehousing and logistics insurance coverage, contact us to discuss your options.

Trucking Insurance

If your business relies on commercial trucks, consider trucking insurance.

Bigger risks require broader coverage.

Compared with ordinary commercial auto insurance, commercial trucking insurance needs to cover not just bigger risks, but a wider range of risks. The potential costs of damage to property and medical bills are higher simply because a truck can have a bigger impact in a collision. Meanwhile, you’ll also want to have coverage for the potential loss of or damage to the cargo your trucking business transports.

Insurance that’s unique to your trucking operations.

The principles behind commercial trucking insurance policies are simple enough, but be prepared to answer a lot of questions about the type of people you have operating the trucks, the type of cargo they carry, and the expected mileage during the year. Your coverage needs could also change depending on whether you cross borders into other jurisdictions.

What types of trucks can be covered?

Commercial trucks such as tow trucks, tractor-trailers, garbage trucks, box trucks, flatbed trucks, and tank trucks should have specialized coverage.

What is covered by trucking insurance?

The coverage in your policy may vary, but a typical trucking insurance policy may include coverage for liability, physical damage, cargo, and uninsured/underinsured motorist liability.

Does your coverage meet and exceed the standards?

There are a variety of factors that impact your coverage needs, as well as benefits from having different types of coverage options for your business. For example, discounts may be available based on factors such as your staff holding commercial driver’s licenses, or if your business is well-established. You might also want to check and see if your policy provides for government filings, which may be necessary to verify your coverage meets specified standards.

Technology Firm Insurance

Take your coverage beyond the ones and zeros with technology firm insurance.

With innovation comes risk.

Technology firms are on the leading edge of innovation but are susceptible to risks unique to the industry. From lawsuits for errors and omissions to liability exposures due to viruses, stolen or compromised data, as well as system outages and downtime. These risks can impact your smooth operations, which is why you may want to consider technology firm insurance.

The risks of running a tech firm.

The most important areas in which tech firms should be insured include liability coverage to protect your business from the risks associated with the tech industry. Another aspect that goes beyond the tech world involves electrical equipment being stored on-site. For these tech firms specifically, having commercial property and equipment insurance is important to consider.

The business side of technology.

As the owner of a business in the tech industry, focusing on growth and innovation should be your primary goal. By having coverage in place, you may be able to set aside potential roadblocks. Here are some of the main types of coverage that may be included in your technology firm insurance policy:

Understanding the insurance needs of the tech industry.

The specific insurance needs of technology firms and IT businesses are as unique as the businesses themselves. Because of this, there are important considerations to make when choosing a policy and coverage options for your business. The type of tech business you operate, the scale of your business, and even your location may have an impact on the insurance you should consider.

Keep your business on the leading edge with technology firm insurance. Contact us to go over your coverage needs and options.

Transportation Insurance

Keep your business moving with transportation insurance.

Insurance that gets to the heart of your business.

Imagine a company that transports goods with one truck and only goes a short distance. They have different needs than a company that moves high-value items across the country with a large fleet of trucks. If your business transports people, there are entirely different risks to consider. Interstate, international, and intercontinental transportation each have their own specific needs to consider as well. Your transportation insurance should be tailored to your business so you can have coverage for the risks you are likely to face.

Insurance for your business-owned vehicles.

Vehicles make up a significant piece of many transportation companies. Having proper business auto insurance is the first step to a comprehensive insurance program. For some organizations, a standard business auto insurance policy might be enough. This may provide coverage for physical damage to its own vehicles and liability coverage for property damage or bodily injury a driver might be responsible for. For businesses with a large number of vehicles, fleet insurance might be an option.

Insurance differs depending on what you transport.

What you transport matters and the type of transportation insurance you need should respond to that risk. For example, trucks carrying high-value items are at higher risk for cargo theft. If you’re transporting people in a chartered bus, limousine, or school bus, your liability insurance should cover you in the event of an accident or personal injury. If you’re transporting pets or livestock, you’ll want your policy to reflect that as well. Here are some examples of businesses that may benefit from a transportation insurance policy:

Coverage for managing transportation logistics.

There’s a lot of planning involved when it comes to transporting goods from one place to another. Transportation logistics provides coverage for times when things don’t go as planned. Maybe a shipment is delayed, a connection is missed, or something else happens. You can be held responsible for damages this causes others. Additionally, if part of your business involves warehousing vehicles or goods that belong to someone else, you’ll likely need specific coverage for that.

Covering the business end of your transportation business.

There are some insurance coverages that are recommended for most businesses. For example, if you have a computer network that holds customer information, cyber liability insurance is important. Employment practice liability insurance (EPLI) may provide protection if you’re accused of discrimination or harassment. Commercial property and general liability insurance are essential to help protect your building and property, as well as offering coverage in the event that someone is injured on your property.

Sports Facility Insurance

It’s all fun and games until it isn’t, then you need sports facility insurance.

Important coverages for sports facilities to consider.

When it comes to protecting your sports facility, the building and property itself is the most important asset. For this reason, having commercial property insurance may offer coverage in the event of damage, destruction, or theft of your property, building, or equipment. And because your facility is focused on having athletes and spectators attend games and utilize your property and equipment, general liability insurance becomes essential. This may provide coverage in the event that someone suffers personal injury or property damage related to your sports facility. Without insurance, you would be forced to pay for damages and legal fees.

Do all sports facilities need the same type of insurance?

Every sports facility is different and therefore has unique risks. For example, a large-scale, multi-sport complex has more people and therefore more risks than a small yoga studio does. The types of risks for your specific sports facility need to be accounted for in your sports facility insurance policy. Here are some of the types of sports facilities that may be covered:

What risks are common to sports facilities?

While the likelihood of occurrence and severity may differ depending on the type and scale of each sports facility, there are some common risks that they all share and directly relate to the industry. For example, because there are visitors and athletes on your property, if they get injured and claim it to be related to your sports facility specifically, you could be held liable. Another example includes sexual abuse charges related to your employees at your facility, which would need to be defended. In addition, the equipment your sports facility relies on could become damaged or faulty, which could lead to rescheduling or canceling sporting events and impacting your bottom line.

The business side of managing a sports facility.

While it might be all fun and games, running a sports facility is still a business and it needs to have the insurance coverage to fit the operations. A business owners insurance policy (BOP) combines commercial property and general liability insurance coverage. Equipment breakdown insurance should be considered if you rely on specialized sports equipment as part of your facility. Liquor liability is essential if you serve alcohol on the premises such as during sporting events. Workers’ compensation coverage is needed to help cover employees who become injured while on the job.

No matter what type of sports facility you run, sports facility insurance is important to consider. Contact us to go over your specific needs and learn more about your options.

Staffing Agency Insurance

Take your coverage to a higher level with staffing agency insurance.

What makes insuring staffing agencies different?

Staffing agencies play a special role for companies of all types and sizes. If an employer needs to hire temporary employees, they turn to a staffing agency to provide them with a worker who is qualified, skilled, and experienced in the job they are hired to do. However, in most places, even though temporary employees are working for a company, they are still considered employees of the staffing agency. That means things like on-the-job injuries, property damage, personal injury, errors and omissions, negligence, and crimes that are related to the employee can be your responsibility as their employer. Therefore, you may want to consider these potential risks when selecting insurance coverage options to safeguard your business.

The risks associated with staffing agencies.

One of the most important functions of a staffing agency is placing the right person in the right position. For instance, imagine if your agency were to place someone who did not have the required skills, experience, or certifications for a specific job that they were hired for. The consequences could range from the employee becoming injured, damaging property or equipment, causing reputational damage to the company, or causing injury to someone else. Because your agency placed that person, you could face lawsuits and be held responsible for damages. Another risk involves hiring practices. A person who was passed over for a job could allege that they were discriminated against by your agency. Employment practice liability insurance (EPLI) may offer coverage for discrimination lawsuits.

Insurance solutions staffing agencies should consider.

One of the most important policies that a staffing agency needs are errors and omissions liability insurance, or E&O. This may offer coverage in cases where you place a temporary employee who does not have the right skills, you don’t meet industry regulations, or you fail to uphold a contract with a company you work with. Also, because your office likely has high foot traffic while you interview candidates for placement, general liability insurance is essential in the event someone is injured on your property. And finally, crime insurance is helpful to have in the event that a temporary employee you placed is caught stealing from the company they are working for.

Do temporary employees need workers’ compensation?

It’s important to have workers’ compensation insurance for the employees at your staffing agency, as well as the temporary workers you help place at other businesses, which may vary depending on the industry they are working in.

The business side of operating a staffing agency.

While staffing agencies are in a unique niche with specific needs, there are general business insurance policies that may be necessary depending on your operations and where you operate. Commercial property insurance may cover your office building, as well as equipment and supplies. Also, cyber liability insurance is essential if you store employee or company information on your computer systems and they are hacked.

Social Services Agency Insurance

While you help others, we’ll help you with social services agency insurance.

Insurance for your social services agency.

The social services field is broad. Services and people served can vary widely from agency to agency, and your insurance needs may vary as well. This includes everything from childrens’ services to programs for the elderly. It also includes mental health organizations and services for the homeless or financially insecure. Here are some examples of social services agencies that may benefit from a social services agency insurance policy:

Liability insurance is fundamental.

There are many kinds of liability insurance that may benefit a social services agency. Because of the potential for high foot traffic at your social services agency, general liability insurance may offer you protection in the event a visitor gets hurt. And because directors and officers of your organization can be named personally if the agency is sued, directors and officers liability insurance (D&O) may protect their assets. Professional liability may provide coverage for allegations of inaccurate advice, negligence, or mistakes.

Consider protection in the event of workplace violence.

In today’s world, we must be ever-vigilant in our attempts to prevent workplace violence. However, incidents can and do occur. Workplace violence insurance may provide financial protection in the face of expenses that are incurred as the result of a violent incident. For instance, this type of insurance policy may provide coverage for hiring public relations and security consultants, payouts to victims and survivors, and business interruption insurance for the time you’re unable to open your facility.

Working with at-risk populations can carry another risk.

Working with people—particularly children and at-risk populations—leaves your social services agency open to claims of abuse and molestation. Even if unfounded, these claims must be defended, which can be quite costly. Abuse and molestation insurance may help pay for these defense costs, as well as payments awarded to victims.

Business auto insurance offers important protection.

Social services agencies may also want to consider business auto insurance. If you transport clients in a company-owned vehicle, your policy will need to reflect that. This may provide coverage if there is an accident and someone is injured or there is damage to a vehicle or property. This may also include coverage for employees or volunteers who use their personal vehicles while conducting business on your behalf.

Don’t neglect basic business insurance coverages as well.

In addition to the specialized social services agency insurance your organization needs, there are some basic business insurance policies you may also want to consider. Commercial property insurance may cover the contents of your building like desks, chairs, equipment, and other items. Your computer network likely contains a vast amount of personal data on your clients, making it a target for hackers. For this reason, cyber liability insurance is essential. And because employees may become injured on the job, workers’ compensation insurance is also important to consider.
