Properly Insure Your Administrative, Support or Waste Management Business
When you run a business that provides support and services to other businesses, you run some unique industry-specific risks. It is therefore important that the business insurance plan you have set up includes coverage against all possible hazards so that your company does not suffer unsurmountable financial losses.
Business insurance policies for the administrative, support, waste management and remediation trade sector are designed to meet your industry’s specific coverage needs. Some coverage options you may want to give consideration to include:
- Environmental impairment and pollution legal liability insurance: This coverage may be extremely important to those companies that deal with waste management, particularly when they handle hazardous waste. It is designed to cover liability lawsuits for environmental damage caused by improper waste disposal.
- Fidelity bond insurance: As your business is likely to send employees into other businesses to perform services such as janitorial, temporary administrative support or security, it is important that your employees are bonded and insured against crimes they might commit as a result of their acquired access to your client’s business operations. This insurance is designed to cover your firm against lawsuits resulting from criminal acts perpetrated by your employees.
- Worker’s compensation insurance: Your employees will likely need to work in a number of different environments, and some may not be as safe as others. A solid worker’s compensation insurance policy, coupled with short-term and long-term disability coverage, will ensure that your employees’ needs are met in the event of a work-related accident or injury.
There are many more coverage options available to you, but not all are ideal for every type of company. Before you purchase a business insurance policy, you should discuss your coverage options with a qualified insurance professional.
