It would probably be the stuff of nightmares.

But not to fear – we have the solution.

Equipment breakdown insurance can help your business survive a mechanical failure. We’ll explain what it is and what it covers – and we’ll even throw in some fun facts on the way.

Business insurance can get expensive. If you own a business (or you’re thinking about starting a business) you’re probably wondering how much business insurance costs.

July 4, 2021March 7, 2018 by Katelyn Betts

We’ve all passed accidents on the side of the road where a car has rear-ended the car in front of them. Smooshed hood, squashed back bumper. But if you’re driving a tow truck, rear-end collisions are often pretty serious.

And rear-end collisions also have had a major effect on tow truck insurance rates.

Why?

We’ll explain the prevalence of rear-end accidents, why they can affect the price of tow truck insurance, and steps you and your drivers can take to prevent rear-end collisions.

To start, we’re going to look at some numbers.

If you’re like a lot of business owners out there, you’re probably worried about the cost of business insurance. And we don’t blame you – insuring a business, even a small one, can get pricey quickly.

But don’t worry:

We’re going to explain how you can save money on business insurance. We’ll tell you what a commercial package policy is and what a BOP is. We’ll outline some of the benefits of getting this type of insurance (we already mentioned one perk in the title of this article.)

Business interruption insurance can help your business if you have to close temporarily.

What is business interruption insurance (and does my business need it?)

June 6, 2021February 21, 2018 by Katelyn Betts

Most business owners would probably agree that a major worry is having to close the doors temporarily due to a fire or another loss. Experiencing a business interruption throws everything into chaos. Of course, you have property insurance to help you get back on your feet and cover the expenses of repairs or rebuilding.

But here’s the kicker:

Property insurance will most likely not cover moving to a temporary location if you have to close for a short time. What’s more, property insurance also probably won’t reimburse you for the income you lost while you were closed.

However, there’s good news:

Business interruption insurance (or business income insurance) can help your business weather a loss that forces you to close your doors, such as a fire, vandalism, natural disasters, and equipment damage. While it’s often forgotten and neglected, business interruption is a very valuable type of coverage.

Let’s see what it’s all about.
