Business Owners Policy

A business owner’s policy combines all major property and business liability risks in one package. It covers things like fire, theft, lawsuits and loss of income. 

Standard Ohio business owner’s policies include coverage for:

• Commercial property: buildings and contents owned, leased or rented by your company, as well as coverage for loss of accounts receivable and valuable papers and records

• General liability: your company's legal responsibility for harm as a result of things you and your employees do or fail to do in your business operations, such as bodily injury or property damage due to defective products, faulty installations and errors in services provided (This can also cover the cost of your legal defense if you’re sued.)

• Business income: the loss of income resulting from a fire or other unexpected event that causes a suspension in the operation of the business (This can also include the extra expense of operating out of a temporary location, as well as other financial obligations like rent or payroll.)

Set Up Broad Protection with an Ohio Business Owner’s Policy

You should consider obtaining a business owner’s policy if you have a physical location, you have the potential to be sued or you have assets that could be stolen or damaged. Wallace & Turner is ready to help you determine the right business owner’s policy for your company. 

Commercial General Liability

As a business owner, being properly insured is critical to protecting your company. A commercial general liability policy provides coverage for customer injuries, customer property damage and legal costs related to lawsuits:

• Third-party injuries and property damage: If a customer is hurt on your property, general liability insurance can help pay for their immediate medical expenses or your legal expenses if they sue. If you damage customer property, general liability insurance can help pay to repair or replace it. Both are in the instance of non-professional negligent acts. Mental and emotional distress can be considered injuries even if there is no physical harm.

• Product liability: If your product hurts someone or damages their property, general liability insurance can help pay for your legal expenses.

• Advertising injuries: If someone sues you for libel, slander, false arrest, copyright infringement, malicious prosecution or use of another's advertising idea, commercial general liability insurance can help pay for lawsuit expenses.

Pick the Perfect Commercial Insurance Package

Your business is unique, so it needs a custom insurance policy to fully cover it. Call us to discuss your particular needs with one of our insurance professionals.

Commercial Property Insurance

Commercial property insurance protects your business’ physical assets — the building and its contents — whether you own your building, lease your office or work from home. This policy will cover losses caused by theft, vandalism, fire and other physical damage.

When property damage negatively affects your operations, commercial property insurance can also help cover operating and payroll expenses.

Consider a commercial property insurance policy to cover your:

• Office building: The building structure as well as permanently installed fixtures, machinery, and equipment.

• Contents of your building: Items that can be removed like inventory, office equipment, and other supplies.

• Other people's property: Items that are in your care, custody, or control such as a client’s laptop.

Protect What’s Yours with Ohio Commercial Property Insurance

Taking inventory of your business can help determine what property you want to insure and what its replacement value would be. Wallace & Turner is prepared to guide you in this process and recommend appropriate coverage. 

Commercial Umbrella Insurance

Commercial umbrella insurance extends liability coverage to help businesses with the cost of lawsuits and to further protect business assets in the instance of a catastrophic loss. This can include legal fees, medical bills and damage expenses that exceed the limits of underlying primary business coverage. This policy is written over various primary liability policies but can only be applied to a claim under the following circumstances:

• You have the appropriate underlying policy

• That policy's limits have been reached

Complete Your Coverage with Ohio Commercial Umbrella Insurance

Wallace & Turner can tailor commercial umbrella policies to the needs of all kinds of businesses. Talk with us about your options if you feel your primary policy doesn’t provide enough protection.

Crime Insurance

Crime insurance will protect your business in the event of damage to your property or the loss of money, securities or other assets due to dishonesty, theft or fraud by an employee, intern or consultant. Crime-related losses aren’t covered by commercial property insurance, so this type of coverage helps you minimize risk, helping you and your clients feel secure. 

Areas not covered by crime insurance include the following:

• Your actions or those of your partners

• Your liabilities due to crime-related losses

• Your accounting errors

• Specific occupations

Cyber & Data Liability Insurance

Cyber crime is growing at an alarming rate and can result in major fines and legal fees. Do you know the cyber risks to your company? Is your data secure? If you take credit card payments, store credit card information for recurring payments or store personal information about your customers, it’s imperative that you have a cyber and data liability policy in place. 

This type of policy is not only for large businesses and corporations — small businesses are just as susceptible to cyber and data breaches.

The policy covers a variety of expenses associated with data breaches, including the following:

• Notifying customers about a data breach

• Credit monitoring

• Restoring personal identities of impacted customers

• Recovering compromised data

• Costs to defend claims by state regulators

• Fines and penalties

• Repairing damaged computer systems

Directors and Officers Liability Insurance

 If your business is incorporated and has a board of directors or corporate officers, or if you serve on a board of directors, you could be exposed to lawsuits from shareholders. A directors & officers (D&O) liability policy is designed to protect your company against claims stemming from actual or alleged “wrongful acts,” including negligence, of directors and officers acting within the scope of their managerial duties. 

D&O liability insurance protects businesses of all sizes, including public and private for-profit businesses, nonprofit organizations and educational institutions. With D&O claims becoming increasingly common, particularly in areas like employment and data protection, it’s important to have a policy in place to help cover defense costs and financial losses.   

Potential risks facing directors and officers are numerous and can include the following:

• Decisions that exceed the authority of a company officer

• Inaccurate and inadequate disclosure

• Employment and other human resource-related issues

• Failure to comply with laws or regulations

• Reporting errors

• Shareholder actions

Errors and Omissions (E&O) / Professional Liability Insurance

If you’re providing a service to clients for a fee, consider errors and omissions (E&O) insurance to protect your business and staff against claims made by a client for inadequate work or negligent actions. Also known as professional liability insurance, this type of policy generally covers financial losses rather than liability for bodily injury or property damage.

Employment Practices Liability Insurance

Employment practices liability insurance (EPLI) provides coverage to employers against claims made by employees alleging discrimination (based on sex, race, age or disability, for example), wrongful termination, harassment and other employment-related issues. 

Employee lawsuits are becoming much more common in both small and large businesses. The negative financial impact of employee lawsuits can be drastic and involve devastating legal costs if you don’t carry EPLI insurance.

The cost of an EPLI policy is based on a number of factors, including how many people you employ, employee turnover, past lawsuits and whether you have standard employee practices and handbooks in place.  

Ensure Your Business’ Future with an Ohio EPLI Policy

Wallace & Turner is dedicated to helping protect employers. Our EPLI coverage can safeguard you in the instance of a wrongful lawsuit for the following:

• Discrimination

• Harassment

• Wrongful termination

Liquor Liability Insurance

Any establishment that sells, serves or assists in the purchase or use of alcohol is at risk of a lawsuit. If an intoxicated patron causes injury or property damage from a fight, careless behavior or even an automobile accident, liability ensues. Restaurants, bars and nightclubs may face massive court and defense fees even if the suit is ultimately dropped. Liquor liability insurance will cover these fees as well.

You may also consider a one-time liquor liability policy if you’re hosting an event, such as a wedding or reunion, and the venue or catering company does not offer liquor liability coverage.
