Essential Insurance Coverages for Your Small Businesses

Commercial Liability Insurance

Accidents and lawsuits can happen to even the most careful business owners. Commercial general liability insurance helps protect your Arizona business from financial losses caused by third-party injury, property damage, or advertising mistakes. If a customer slips in your shop or a client files a claim, liability coverage keeps your business protected.

Commercial Property Insurance

Fire, theft, or storm damage can set a business back overnight. With commercial property insurance, you can safeguard your building, inventory, equipment, and other assets. From Flagstaff’s snowy winters to Cottonwood’s dry heat, we’ll help ensure your property coverage fits Arizona’s unique risks.

Inland Marine Insurance

Do you transport tools, materials, or equipment between job sites? Inland marine coverage protects your business property while in transit or stored off-site. Ideal for contractors, service professionals, and small manufacturers throughout Northern Arizona.

Flood and Earthquake Coverage

Standard business policies don’t cover floods or earthquakes — yet both can cause significant losses, even in moderate-risk areas. Flood and earthquake insurance gives your business extra security when nature strikes unexpectedly.

Business Auto Insurance

If you or your employees drive for work — making deliveries, client visits, or service calls — your personal auto policy likely won’t cover accidents that occur during business use. Commercial auto insurance protects company-owned, leased, or employee vehicles while used for business purposes.

Excess and Umbrella Liability

Major claims can exceed your primary insurance limits. An umbrella or excess liability policy adds an additional layer of protection to preserve your business assets and income. It’s essential for Arizona’s growing small and mid-sized companies.
