Find the right level of coverage with these 11 types of business insurance.

Why does small business insurance cost so much? Allow us to untangle it for you.
There are few things more exciting than a business startup. Picking your company name, designing a logo, signing a lease, hiring your first employee, selling your first widget…you’re ready to hustle, baby!
Something that’s probably not so exciting? The commercial insurance quote.
“Wait a minute,” you say. “I have a small business. Why does small business insurance cost SO much?”
There are actually a LOT of different ways to answer that question!
In this article, we’ll try to give you a better understanding of why small business insurance is priced the way that it is, why you shouldn’t base your decisions purely on cost, and a simple way that you can make sure you’re getting the most out of every dollar you spend on your insurance.
With Usage-Based Insurance, you can get a safe driving discount based on your own good driving habits.
Nearly all of the insurance giants have some form of safe driving discount. In the past, your safe driving skills were usually determined by your driving record: fewer tickets and claims translated to bigger savings.
But what about those maniacs that speed through traffic, but somehow never get caught by the police? Or the ones who simply drive around with their busted car and never bother to file a claim? It’s not fair that they should be getting a safe driving discount (and raising your rates in the process).
Enter: Usage-Based Insurance.

But with Uninsured Motorist coverage, you don’t have to pay the price for their mistakes.
A hidden danger awaits those who come to Florida. And no, it’s not hurricanes.
It’s underinsured drivers.
According to recent estimates, about 1 in 4 Florida drivers (26.7%, to be precise) don’t have any insurance. If that sounds high, that’s because it is. The Sunshine State has the highest number of uninsured drivers in the country.
But drivers without insurance aren’t the only people you need to worry about. You also need to worry about the drivers who don’t carry any more coverage than what is required by law.
In this article, we’ll cover why Florida’s insurance minimums aren’t good enough and how you can protect yourself with Uninsured Motorist Coverage.

Hey everyone, and welcome to the Harry Levine Insurance YouTube channel. Today, let’s talk about auto insurance.
It’s one of my favorite things to talk about. So much so that I’ve even been a longtime teacher of Project Invest. That’s a program where we go into local high schools in our immediate office area and actually teach students about auto insurance because it’s perhaps the one line of coverage that there is no doubt they are certainly going to deal with at some point in their adult lives.
So let’s get started!
I want to run through a couple of bullet points that bring you an introduction to an auto insurance policy and what you need to understand.

Protect your clients, your reputation, and your livelihood with these five professional insurance policies.
Most business owners understand the risk fire poses for a restaurant, or the consequences of a hurricane flooding a retail store. But many people don’t stop to think about the intangible risks that threaten professional services businesses like accounting firms, law firms, or marketing agencies.
Risks that property insurance and general liability coverage can’t protect you from.
Insurance works best when it’s custom fit to you. If you’re running a professional services business, you need professional insurance policies that fit.
Businesses that provide a professional service often seem “low-risk,” but just because you’re not working with open flames or heavy machinery doesn’t mean that you’re immune to disaster.
Here are five professional insurance policies that no professional services business should be without.

Welcome back!
Let’s have a chat about automobile liability insurance. Your auto policy has a lot of moving parts, and it’s important that you understand them.
Florida’s a pretty odd state in that, presently, we only require property damage and what we call PIP, or Personal Injury Protection, to be legal on the road.
It’s hardly any coverage, and if you’re in an accident, you’re likely going to wind up with a court-ordered requirement to buy a lot more insurance than that moving forward if anybody gets hurt. Or worst case, you’ll have liens and judgments or even wage garnishments that are levied against you by a court because you are underinsured or not insured at all.
