With over 25 common types of commercial insurance, it can be challenging for a new business owner to decide which ones the company needs. A commercial insurance consultation with a Max Insurance LLC agent can help reveal the right policy options. The agent interviews the business owner to determine the insurance needs and then creates a custom policy based on the findings.
Understanding Insurance Consultations
As a new business owner, you might have read many articles online about analyzing and prioritizing your risks. If you’re launching your first company, you might not fully understand what that means, and that’s okay. In Des Moines, you can call our insurance firm and schedule a commercial insurance consultation. During this appointment, which can be conducted in person, on Zoom, or over the phone, we’ll ask you a few questions about your business and use these to recommend insurance coverage for it.
Legally Required Commercial Policies
Every state, including Iowa, has a list of commercial insurance policies that every business must purchase. The most essential include liability coverage, commercial auto, and worker’s compensation. We’ll inform you about the policies the state requires you to buy so you remain in compliance with the law. Some industries, such as construction, require a type of bond insurance.
Questions We Ask During the Interview
Your insurance agent starts by asking what type of business you operate. This determines your industry. For example, a plumber falls into the construction category, while a pizza restaurant that delivers falls into the category of food service and hospitality. We’ll also inquire about your location, including its address, whether you rent or own it, and if other companies operate from it, too.
You’ll need to be able to answer questions about how many employees you hire if you maintain inventory on-site or off-site, and about your business equipment. We’ll also ask what security measures you take at your business location, such as alarm and camera systems, security guards, etc.
