A 9-point checklist for business insurance

Conditions in the insurance market APC presents a great opportunity to improve their insurance companies and their customers to educate small businesses on the main strategies to renew policies. Here are some tips to look for improvements and other factors to consider when renewing coverage:

Ask your insurance agent about insurance markets and how they affect your premiums and coverage. Get quotes from at least three carriers. Commercial insurance markets are in an area "soft" period. Underwriters have been able to offer substantial premium savings and/or enhanced coverage because of record cash reserves and low loss ratios. Obtain a variety of pricing options with higher or lower deductibles, higher coverage limits and coverage enhancements.

Weigh insurance needs and premiums against periodic changes in operation and inventory. All changes, subtle to drastic, need to be considered throughout the policy coverage period and at renewal. Some policies may be written to take into account seasonal fluctuations of staffing and inventory. If so, a monthly or quarterly report of these items may be required by the underwriter.

Look for a policy that includes “cyber liability.” Data protection coverage addressing third-party liability is important because of the type, amount and privacy requirements of financial and other private records. General liability coverage typically does not cover the cost of notifying each party potentially affected by a data security breach. Insurance companies offering cyber liability insurance may be able to issue policy endorsements covering government-levied fines and fees for breaches. Highly regulated businesses, such as financial institutions, health care facilities and retail establishments, are most prone to these losses.

Consider risk exposure to electronic business interruption. If your business depends on electronic transactions for revenue, your policy should specifically address business costs of loss of data and electronic capabilities.
