Small Business Insurance
As a small business owner, you wear many hats, including owner, manager, human resource manager, sales manager—and even window washer. Because there is so much to do, you may not spend time thinking about your business insurance, but you should. Recent studies by the Insurance Information Institute found that over 50% of small businesses never reopen after a severe loss.
