Researching different types of business insurance isn’t always easy.
Business insurance requirements vary from state to state, and names for individual coverages aren’t always consistent among insurance companies. For instance, one insurer might refer to coverage for the accidental breakdown of boilers, machinery and equipment as boiler and machinery insurance, while another insurer calls it equipment breakdown coverage or mechanical breakdown coverage.
To make things more confusing, names like “boiler and machinery insurance” often include coverage for more than their names suggest – such as computers and office equipment. To help clarify the kinds of commercial insurance available, below is a list of some of the common types of business insurance coverages.
