General liability insurance can help small businesses prepare for third-party risks like injuries, property damage, and advertising claims.
Many owners consider coverage when opening a business, signing a lease, or taking on client work.
Without coverage, routine customer or public interactions can trigger claims, creating financial and legal exposure for small businesses.
Customer-facing businesses often benefit: retail, restaurants, contractors, event vendors, salons, freelancers, and consultants.
Coverage evaluation factors include limits, deductibles, risk level, client or landlord requirements, and where work is performed.
I’m seeing more small business owners focus on everyday liability risks and how insurance can reduce exposure. The big theme is matching coverage to operations, customer interaction, and contract or landlord requirements.

General Liability Insurance for Small Businesses

Take very detailed photos of all home and property damage before starting an insurance claim.
A public adjuster says small details, like a tree on a house, can mean 1000s of dollars.
Save receipts for recent home purchases like tree cutting or roof tarps; many can be reimbursed.
For roof damage, contact emergency services through the roofing company you choose after a natural disaster.
Act quickly; waiting can cause more damage to your home or your wallet.
