While this requires addressing a variety of issues before getting things up and running, one of the most important things to do is to obtain businessowners insurance.

1. Property insurance covers any damage done to the company’s physical makeup as well as its contents.
2. Liability insurance covers the company’s legal expenses should the company be sued for harmed cause to others, including personal injury as well as property damage.
3. Business interruption insurance provides for expenses that a business may incur should the company be forced to shut down due to weather-related disaster or fire. It may also cover the expense of operating out of a temporary location.
