Did you know that 340,746 Kentucky small businesses employed 686,517 persons in recent years? Small businesses and entrepreneurs flock to southern Kentucky to set up shop, and Somerset, KY is a proud home to numerous mom-and-pop operations that serve the local community. While both local and statewide economies thrive thanks to local businesses, these small Kentucky companies were paid $3,723,405 in losses — meaning there are plenty of hazards that owners need to stay aware of and address.
Our Independent Insurance Agents know the risks you and your small business face. Let our agents talk to you about how you can stay protected from every situation possible. Whether you are a new business owner with a seedling of a business idea or you are a seasoned commerce veteran, you deserve to have the most affordable small business insurance possible so you keep the revenue rolling. Chances are that you've poured your heart into your small business. Something so important needs the proper insurance to safeguard against the unexpected. An insurance agent can help you find the most comprehensive liability coverage when it comes to slips and falls, product malfunction, and lawsuits.
- General Liability: According to a recent Travelers Business Risk Summary, 60 percent of small-business owners ranked medical cost inflation as their highest concern and over 30 percent said they felt the least prepared to handle this concern. Having comprehensive general liability for your small business cannot be overstressed. If a customer falls on your property or you accidentally ruin a client's computer, general liability coverage ensures you don't fall into the negative.
- Product Liability: A national study found that 71 percent of product liability awards and 53 percent of medical malpractice awards by the courts amounted to $1 million or more. If your Somerset business sells, manufactures or distributes products that could potentially malfunction, be prepared with the proper product liability insurance.
- Professional Liability: Do you provide advice on a regular basis? If so, talk to an agent about professional liability coverage. Accountants, lawyers, real estate agents, and consultants should protect themselves against lawsuits regarding potential errors made while performing their professional services.
