In the last 30 years, technology has allowed for businesses, both big and small, to run better, faster, and smoother. But with all the benefits and positive changes come the risks. This is where business owners like you should consider getting covered with technology insurance. But you may ask yourself, “how can technology insurance help my business?” There are numerous ways a technology insurance company can help your business. We’ll answer this question and address other concerns you may have regarding coverage for your business’ technology.

If your business has multiple computers or other expensive equipment that you rely on, you should get covered with Property Insurance.

Protection for Theft by Others

Unfortunately, theft is pretty common when it comes to business. If your point-of-sale system, computers, laptops, or any other devices you have that keep your business thriving get stolen, you’ll need to replace them as soon as possible. Just as you’ll have protection for your equipment breaking down, you’ll also have protection for equipment that gets stolen.

Protection for Crime by Employees

However, things like this can happen. Other related issues from a criminal employee could include theft, forgery, fraud, hacking, and more. When something like this happens, it’s imperative that you have Crime Insurance to help protect you from the costs.

Protection for Vehicle Damage

For many companies, vehicles are an essential part of a smooth-running business. That said, your vehicles and their drivers are subject to many risks. If one of your drivers get into an accident, your company will be responsible for covering the costs. With commercial auto insurance, you’ll be covered for the costs related to a vehicle accident. This means coverage for repairing the vehicle as well as coverage for the employee’s medical fees is the accident was serious.

Protection for Unpredictability

Some of the things listed are inevitable, but there are some instances that could inconvenience your business that you may not even think about that could end up costing you a fortune. For those incidents, it’s best to have umbrella liability insurance also known as Excess Liability Insurance. When your coverage runs out and you’re left paying hundreds of thousands to multiple millions in recovery costs, excess liability insurance could be the saving grace you need to keep your business thriving. Policies for excess liability insurance start at $1,000,000; imagine having to pay that out-of-pocket.

Protection for Lost Wages

When a business goes out of commission temporarily, it causes great strain to the company, the employees and to you. Mainly because it affects profits and employee income. With loss of income insurance, your business will have coverage to pay for loss of income based on what your company has made in recent months.
