Protecting Your Business From Financial Risk
When you’re busy with the day-to-day operations of running your business, the last thing you want to think about is whether you have proper insurance coverage. With a Commercial Insurance policy from Farm Bureau Insurance, you don’t have to. We bundle basic insurance coverage – like property and liability – along with anything else you might need, to keep your small business protected from financial damages.
Coverages
Your business is unique and it requires an insurance policy that’s specialized to your needs. No matter what industry you’re in or the size of your operation, we can keep you financially protected from costly damages and claims against your business.
To ensure your company is covered, commercial insurance can be layered for additional protection. Your policy can combine standard liability and property protection with extra coverages unique to your business. Your agent will help determine which package is right for you.
Businessowners Policy
A Businessowners policy (BOP) packages general liability, property, and business income coverages so you can safeguard your small business from the most common insurance risks you might encounter.
Commercial Package Policy
Get standard business insurance plus more protection with extra coverages, unique to your business’s needs, in one convenient package.
Commercial Umbrella
Commercial Umbrella provides additional protection to you and your assets when your liability exceeds the limits in your existing insurance policies.
Depending on your line of work, there may be other financial risks you’ll need protection against. Our agents are experts in assessing risk and helping you create a specialized policy, with the right amount of limits, for your growing business.
Our Businessowner and Commercial Package policies provide Protector endorsements which pre-bundle coverages customized for your specific needs. We understand your operation is unique and have coverages to help you protect it.
Agribusiness
We offer commercial products designed for risks with unique exposures to agriculture-related businesses, like dairy products manufacturing and produce handlers, requiring niche-specific protection.
Crime
This coverage protects from business-related crimes that may not be covered by commercial property insurance. Coverage includes instances such as employee fraud, theft, or burglary.
Cyber Liability
Cyber Liability protects against data breaches of private customer information. Businesses who utilize data such as credit card information, personal health records or Social Security numbers should consider this coverage.
Inland Marine
Inland Marine helps cover your products and property when they are in transit, such as by a truck or train, and not at a fixed location.
