Beverly Business Insurance

Beverly, MA is nicknamed “Garden City” for its miles of scenic parks and beautiful coastland just waiting to be explored. This diverse city offers a thriving downtown area that serves as a hub for local small businesses. During previous years, there were 615,775 small businesses in Massachusetts, providing employment to 1,404,234 people. Despite all the potential benefits of owning a small business in this state, there are still some serious risks. Recently, loss payouts to Massachusetts businesses reached $6,530,654.

It’s clear that starting a business comes with a lot of risks, but Beverly business insurance can give you peace of mind that you’re covered even if things don’t go your way. Our Independent Insurance Agents offer Beverly’s small businesses one-on-one support in creating customized commercial insurance plans. Our experienced agents will guide toward the most important coverage options, from liability to property insurance to cyber crime insurance.

One of the most serious risks you will face as a business owner in Beverly is liability. It only takes a single lawsuit to do lasting damage to a small business. According to a recent Travelers Business Risk Summary, 60 percent of small-business owners ranked medical cost inflation as their highest concern and more than 30 percent said they felt least prepared to handle this issue. Make sure you’re prepared for liability lawsuits by investing in commercial liability insurance.

• Product Liability: Product liability is a serious issue that leads to common and expensive lawsuits. According to a national study, 71 percent of product liability awards by the courts amounted to $1 million or more. If you want your business to succeed, it’s really crucial that you always have a product liability plan in place just in case a defective product causes damage to a customer’s home or health.
• Errors & Omissions/Professional Liability: Some businesses revolve around public services rather than selling any type of physical product. In that case, professional liability insurance is the safest bet. This type of plan safeguards your company against claims of “errors” or “omissions,” leaving you with peace of mind that you’re covered even if something goes wrong.

Business Interruption Insurance for Beverly Businesses

• Recent Gross domestic product: 2.2%
• Recent Massachusetts gross state product: 1.6%
• The recent GSP was 0.6% lower than the recent GDP

For the small business or startup in Beverly, even a tiny disruption can lead to major profit losses. It’s hard to recover from these setbacks, but business interruption insurance can help. This type of policy steps in and pays you for lost revenue if you have to shut down temporarily. For instance, if a hurricane does damage to your property and you need to close for a few weeks to make repairs, your business interruption insurance pays you for the profits you lose during the time you are closed.

Workers' Compensation for Beverly Businesses

If one of your employees gets injured on the job, the responsibility ultimately falls on you to take care of the resulting medical bills.
