Texas. Land of opportunity. Land of wide-open spaces. And, let’s be real, land of a whole lot of small businesses. From the mom-and-pop shops lining our Main Streets to the tech startups buzzing in our co-working spaces, small businesses are the backbone of our economy. And here in North Texas, we see that spirit in action every day.
But let’s be blunt: running a small business isn’t all sunshine and bluebonnets. It’s a rollercoaster of challenges, risks, and, hopefully, rewards. And one of the most critical, yet often overlooked, aspects of that journey is insurance.
Look, I know what you’re thinking. “Insurance? That’s just another expense.” But trust me, folks, it’s an investment. A safety net. A shield against the unexpected. Because in the world of small business, the unexpected is practically guaranteed.
So, let’s cut through the jargon and get to the heart of the matter: what every Texas small business owner needs to know about insurance.
The Essentials You Can’t Ignore
- General Liability Insurance: This is your bread and butter. It protects you from claims of bodily injury or property damage caused by your business operations. Someone slips and falls in your store? You’re covered. A customer’s property is damaged by your work? You’re covered. It’s the foundation of your protection.
- Commercial Property Insurance: If you own or rent a physical space, this is crucial. It covers damage to your building, equipment, and inventory from things like fire, theft, and storms. In Texas, with our unpredictable weather, this is non-negotiable.
- Workers’ Compensation Insurance: If you have employees, this is required by law in Texas. It covers medical expenses and lost wages for employees who are injured on the job. It’s not just a legal obligation; it’s a moral one.
- Professional Liability Insurance (Errors and Omissions): If you provide professional services, like consulting, accounting, or design, this protects you from claims of negligence or errors in your work. Mistakes happen, even to the best of us.
- Commercial Auto Insurance: If your business uses vehicles, whether it’s a delivery van or a fleet of trucks, you need commercial auto insurance. Your personal auto policy won’t cut it.
