With access to increasingly intuitive and innovative tools, the online business market has taken a turn in recent years. The advancement of marketplaces associated with new habits and needs accelerated by the pandemic, brought online businesses, especially e-commerces, into the spotlight.
Whether that’s your main business or just an addition to a physical store, your company’s online presence matters. To protect your e-commerce business from potential lawsuits, accidents and disasters, you will likely need some business insurance. Have you ever considered it?
Running an online business can leave you open to unique risks. Appropriate, custom-tailored business insurance can help protect you against the many risks that small business owners face. Or do you want to bet that nothing will go wrong out of your own pocket?
To answer this question, you must consider the specifics of your business and, of course, the risks involved. It’s a good idea to have coverage if you:
Do you have property to look after? Are you responsible for third-party information? It can be a good idea to ensure the security of what is in your possession, whether it is physical or remote.
While running an online business may not include the risks that traditional businesses face, such as accidents across a wet floor or physical damage to a storefront, your online business is not without its risks.
An online business is no longer just a website, right? Your business also has social networks, email, and other platforms that allow you to gather communication, store documents, share data, sign contracts and a lot of other functions that allow your business to be increasingly connected and, consequently, exposed.
Business insurance can help if:
The situations are different. Most online businesses should have at least General Liability and Product Liability Insurance to protect themselves from the most common risks. Some marketplaces that host smaller e-commerce sites, such as Amazon, may require proof of commercial insurance in order to authorize your space to be created on their website.
Protecting your business from the greatest number of risk possibilities is always ideal, but it is important to understand what your company’s needs are in order to avoid covering too much or not enough.
