Insurance Coverages Tech Businesses Require
The better you understand the different types of insurance for technology companies, the more prepared you are to make educated choices.
We believe in providing you with fundamental education, so you are comfortable with the insurance choices you make and the amount of risk they mitigate for your company.
Some of the insurance coverages you might be especially interested in securing for your business include:
- Technology Errors and Omissions (E&O) Insurance. Very little technology goes out without a few bugs in the programming. There are too many bits and bytes to know all the possible errors or snags along the way. Unfortunately, they can be problematic for your business if they cause problems on the client’s side. This insurance coverage helps you manage the risks of problematic software hitting the market.
- Information Security Liability Insurance. You’re responsible for keeping the information about your users private and protected from prying eyes whether you’re in the “security” sector of the tech industry or not. When things go wrong, and personal information is revealed, this insurance for IT companies is the protection your business needs to have.
- Equipment Breakdown Insurance. Computer equipment, servers, and other machinery used in your business are costly to repair and replace. This helps to take the sting out of those costs for covered instances.
- Business Owners Policy. Every business, within the technology industry and without, needs this essential protection that offers building coverage, business property coverage, business interruption insurance, and general liability protection.
- Workers Compensation Insurance. If you have employees, most states require that you provide this invaluable insurance protection to those employees.
- Product Liability Insurance. Whether you’re selling software, hardware, or something else altogether, you need liability protection for the products you sell.
- Umbrella and Excess Liability Insurance. All liability products have a dollar limit for protection. Umbrella and excess liability coverage kicks in once those limits are exhausted to provide protection above and beyond those limits.
- Business Auto Insurance. If you or your employees operate on-the-go, chances are you will need business auto insurance, especially if they are driving company vehicles. If they are driving their personal vehicles for company business, you may need “unowned vehicle liability insurance.” We’ll work with you to determine which policy serves your needs best or if your business may require both.
Even when you are first launching your business, you’ll need tech startup insurance.
