Business insurance FAQS

Generally, you are not required to provide Workers’ Compensation insurance for 1099 independent contractors, as they are not classified as employees. However, the rules vary by state, and misclassification can lead to penalties if a worker is considered an employee under the law.

Business Personal Property (BPP) refers to movable property owned by a business that is not permanently attached to a building or structure. This includes items like furniture, office equipment, computers, inventory, tools, and machinery used in daily operations. BPP is typically covered under a commercial property insurance policy, protecting against risks like fire, theft, or vandalism. If your business owns physical assets, having BPP coverage ensures you can repair or replace them if they’re damaged or lost.

If you have a 1% deductible, the amount you pay out of pocket in the event of a claim is 1% of the insured value of your property, not the total claim amount. For example, if your home is insured for $300,000 and you have a 1% deductible, your deductible would be $3,000. This means you would pay $3,000 before your insurance covers the rest of the covered loss.

Umbrella Insurance and Excess Insurance both provide additional liability coverage, but they function differently: Umbrella Insurance extends liability coverage beyond the limits of your existing policies (like auto, home, or business liability) and may also cover risks not included in your primary policy. It provides broader protection and can fill in coverage gaps. Excess Insurance strictly increases the limits of an existing liability policy but does not expand coverage to new risks. It simply provides additional funds once the underlying policy’s limits are exhausted.
