The backbone of the American economy is small businesses. They are defined by the small business administration as businesses with less than 500 employees. Small businesses are responsible for two-thirds of the jobs in this country. 98% of businesses in Illinois are classified as small businesses. Owning a small business can be a dream come true or a nightmare depending on how many risks you face and how well you are protected. At Green Family Insurance Inc., we strive to provide Illinois businesses with the coverage they need to survive and thrive.
If your small business is hit by a fire, a theft, or a devastating storm, you may not be able to continue to do business in the location where your business is today. It might be a total loss, or it may need a lot of repairs. That can take time. Time your business may not have. If you have commercial property insurance, it protects the building where you are operating and all the things you need to operate. Your commercial insurance can help you get a temporary location and help replace and repair what you need to carry on.
During the time a covered peril puts you out of business, commercial business interruption insurance can make sure that you don’t have to let your staff go and you can pay your operating expenses. Not every peril is covered, so read your policy carefully.
Commercial liability insurance can save your small business if you are sued by someone injured while visiting your place of business or by a product or service you provide. Additionally, it can help with the legal expenses that defending yourself can entail. Every small business is vulnerable to legal action.
