Insurance
[xvii]
Buying business insurance is
among the best ways to prepare for the unexpected. Without proper protection, misfortunes such as the death of a
partner or key employee, embezzlement, a lawsuit, or a natural disaster could spell the end of a thriving
operation
Ranging from indispensable
worker's compensation insurance to the relatively obscure executive kidnapping coverage, insurance is available
for nearly any business risk. Considering the multitude of available options, business owners must carefully
weigh whether the cost of certain premiums will justify the coverage for a given risk.
General Liability
Many business owners buy general
liability or umbrella liability insurance to cover legal hassles due to claims of negligence. These help protect
against payments as the result of bodily injury or property damage, medical expenses, the cost of defending
lawsuits, and settlement bonds or judgments required during an appeal procedure.
