During previous years, 856,682 small businesses in Michigan employed 1,755,901 individuals. The state's economic success is evident, but what about in a small town like DeWitt, MI? Just 20 miles from Lansing, this area has a plethora of high-impact small businesses and entrepreneurial residents who are contributing to low unemployment rates and a vibrant community. DeWitt business owners have worked hard to make their mark on the local business scene and deserve to have full protection against unexpected losses.

Whether you've just launched your startup or have been a staple in downtown DeWitt for a decade, we want to help you find a commercial policy that works for you. Liability coverage is the foundation of any small business protection plan. Whether it's something small like a client tripping while walking out the door or something like receiving a negligence lawsuit for advice you gave, these policies will keep your business financially stable.
- General Liability: If a customer is hurt while in your store or office, how would you respond? According to a recent Travelers Business Risk Summary, 60% of small-business owners ranked medical cost inflation as their highest concern and more than 30% said they felt the least prepared to handle this concern. To protect yourself and your company, talk to an agent about general liability coverage.
- Product Liability: A national study found that 71% of product liability awards by the courts amounted to $1 million or more. Don't let a product that malfunctions devastate your DeWitt business. This coverage helps with associated legal and medical costs if something you sell, produce or manufacture causes harm to a customer.
- Professional Liability: If you or individuals you work with receive a negligence claim for work or advice provided, errors & omissions insurance protects you. An agent can explain how this specific liability coverage gives you an extra layer of protection for professionals.

Business Interruption Insurance for DeWitt Businesses
Did you know that Michigan's recent GSP was only 0.2% less than the national GDP, at 2.0% and 2.2%, respectively? Small businesses in DeWitt contribute to the overall health of the state and national economic success — which is why it's important to keep revenue flowing. If a storm or unsafe situation forces you to shut your doors, business interruption insurance compensates you for the profits you would normally be making. That way, you can continue to pay employees and bills until repairs are made. Let an agent walk you through the details and tailor it to your unique business.
