Business owners use insurance to meet their legal and contractual obligations and cover the business’s risks. As a business owner, you should carry insurance at a level that fits your willingness for risk exposure. However, small business owners often take on unnecessary risks by relying on their personal auto insurance coverage to cover their vehicles, even when used for business purposes. To avoid commercial insurance mistakes, allow our Advantage Insurance Network team, serving Cincinnati, OH, to create a commercial and commercial vehicle insurance plan to meet your business’s needs.

Commercial and Commercial Vehicle Insurance

Small businesses come in many forms and sizes, and your commercial insurance needs will vary based on your business type, whether you have employees, and whether you use motor vehicles when conducting your business.

Business owners widely acquire commercial property, workers’ compensation, general liability, and other strictly business-related coverage. However, many small businesses fail to obtain commercial vehicle insurance despite using motor vehicles for business purposes. While business owners may think their personal insurance policies offer them adequate protection, only a commercial vehicle policy covers vehicles:

• Owned by the company
• Driven for work purposes by you or an employee
• To transport work tools, products, and employees

In addition, personal vehicle insurance often has lower liability limits than those available with commercial vehicle policies, so if you use a vehicle for business purposes, you should obtain commercial vehicle insurance to fully protect yourself and your business.
