Carmel Business Insurance

During previous years, 493,382 Indiana small businesses provided jobs to 1,173,626 employees. While Indianapolis is a great place for businesses to grow in, its surrounding suburbs offer some of the most thriving markets for entrepreneurs. Carmel, IN is no exception, with its bustling arts district and supportive community. But these hard-working businesses suffered $5,524,122 in losses — meaning there are numerous risks that small-business owners need to keep in mind when looking to protect their businesses.

Finding the best Carmel business insurance can be difficult, but not with an Independent Insurance Agent by your side. Our agents are local and know the Indiana small business scene well. When you contact a Carmel agent, you'll receive great customer service and a number of insurance quotes to choose from. We love giving you options so you can have a say in how your business is financially protected. Small and growing businesses could have their bottom line significantly impacted by a variety of small incidents. A customer's injury, product malfunction or unsolicited advice could result in your being sued — which is why you need some of these basic coverages to have full protection.

• General Liability: According to a recent Travelers Business Risk Summary, 60% of small-business owners ranked medical cost inflation as their highest concern and more than 30% said they felt the least prepared to handle this issue. So what would happen if a customer were hurt on the way out the door? With general liability coverage, any associated medical and legal costs are covered.
• Product Liability: A national study found that 71% of product liability awards and 53% of medical malpractice awards by the courts amounted to $1 million or more. If a product malfunctions or causes an injury or if a customer files a lawsuit and you don't have product liability protection, you could be in trouble. Talk to an agent about this coverage if you sell, distribute or manufacture a product.
• Professional Liability: Also known as errors and omissions insurance, this liability coverage is designed for professionals who regularly give advice to their clientele. Architects, consultants and accountants should go through their professional liability options with an agent to be protected against negligence claims.

Luckily, business interruption insurance steps in during a temporary closure so you can continue to pay both bills and employees. Talk to an agent about the specifics and how you can add the coverage onto your Carmel business insurance policy.
