‘Don’t put all your eggs in one basket’ when it comes to protecting your business. Commercial Umbrella Insurance acts as a safety net, covering costs that exceed your primary policy’s limits. It’s affordable, yet invaluable, especially when unexpected expenses arise.
So, isn’t it time you fortified your financial defenses? With Ollis/Akers/Arney Insurance Business Advisors, you’ll navigate the ins and outs of this vital coverage. Let’s uncover how it supports your business’s resilience and prosperity.
Understanding the Basics
You’ve got to understand the basics of commercial umbrella insurance – it’s tailored to your business needs and acts as an extra layer of protection, kicking in when your regular policy reaches its payout limit. This type of insurance supplements your primary business liability insurance, providing coverage for catastrophic losses that exceed the limits of your underlying policies.
For example, if you have a liability insurance policy of $500,000, but damages amount to $700,000, your umbrella policy covers the remaining $200,000. It’s relatively cheaper and offers great value for its protection. It’s like a safety net, ensuring the survival of your business in case of substantial expenses.
Coverage and Affordability
It’s essential to understand that this type of coverage is a cost-effective way to protect your business from unforeseen expenses. Commercial umbrella insurance is designed to supplement your existing liability policies, providing a safety net when those reach their payout limits.
Imagine a scenario where damages amount to $700,000 but your general liability only covers $500,000. Your umbrella policy steps in to cover the remaining $200,000, ensuring your business isn’t left high and dry.
It’s a relatively affordable investment considering the level of protection it offers. Don’t consider it an unnecessary expense, but rather, an asset safeguarding your business interests. Remember, it’s always better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.
