When To Upgrade The Commercial Insurance For Your Growing Company.

At Southwest Insurance Center we know many small and medium-sized business owners who work diligently every single day to make sure that their company provides quality services, has integrity, treats employees right, and has a path for growth in the future. Many business owners have so much to do and consider in a single day that their commercial insurance is simply a box checked off when the policy is purchased without much more thought. We want to make sure our customers in and around Austin, TX are always protected to the max so here are some scenarios where you may want to upgrade your commercial policy. 

  • If your company added or moved locations. Your policy in one location likely is not one size fits all, be sure that you are covered anywhere you conduct your business. 
  • If you add employees. More employees mean more people to protect, and more risk so you should always evaluate your policy as your company grows. 
  • If you have increased in monetary value or assets. Congratulations on your success. Now you should know that even without changing a single element in your company, success itself actually increases your risk for lawsuits and leaves you with more to lose if something goes wrong. Many people add an umbrella policy to specifically cover liability and their increased assets as the company grows. 
  • If you add a service. Did your company get its start selling graphic t-shirts that you designed yourself and now you also sell banners and deliver them around town? Or maybe you made floral bouquets and now you added edible arrangements? Whatever it is, you will be most protected if you update your commercial insurance to reflect all of your business services.
