Business Insurance

Business Insurance for Terre Haute and the Wabash Valley

Every business has risks, but those risks are not the same from one company to another. A contractor, retail store, professional office, service company, property owner, and manufacturer can all require different types and amounts of insurance protection.

Crapo Insurance Agency works with businesses throughout Terre Haute and the Wabash Valley to help identify important exposures, understand available coverage, and compare insurance options from multiple companies.

Our goal is to help you build an insurance program around the way your business actually operates rather than assuming that one standard package is appropriate for everyone.

Business Insurance Options

Commercial Auto Insurance

If your business owns vehicles or regularly uses vehicles in its operations, commercial auto insurance can help protect both the vehicles and the financial responsibility created when they are involved in an accident.

Coverage can be tailored for different types of business vehicles, drivers, uses, and liability exposures.

Commercial Property Insurance

Buildings, equipment, furniture, inventory, supplies, and other physical assets can be essential to your company's ability to operate.

Commercial property insurance can help protect those assets against covered losses, while related coverage such as business income protection may help address the financial effect of certain interruptions.

General Liability Insurance

A customer injury, damage to someone else's property, or another covered liability claim can create significant expense for a business.

General liability insurance is designed to help protect against certain third-party claims involving bodily injury, property damage, and other covered liability exposures arising from business operations.

Business Insurance Should Reflect the Business

Insurance needs are influenced by how your company operates.

When reviewing business coverage, it can be useful to consider:

  • what the business does
  • where operations take place
  • buildings and property owned or leased
  • vehicles used by the company
  • equipment and inventory
  • employees and drivers
  • work performed at customer locations
  • products sold or distributed
  • contractual insurance requirements
  • previous claims
  • plans for future growth

A meaningful insurance review should take these factors into account rather than concentrating only on price.

Different Coverages Protect Different Risks

Business insurance is often made up of several policies or coverage sections working together.

For example:

  • Commercial Auto can address vehicles and auto-related liability.
  • Commercial Property can protect covered buildings, equipment, inventory, and other business property.
  • General Liability can address certain third-party injury and property-damage claims.
  • Surety Bonds can guarantee specific contractual, licensing, or other obligations to another party.

One coverage generally does not replace the others. The appropriate combination depends upon the exposures of the individual business.

Contract and Customer Requirements

Many businesses must satisfy insurance requirements established by customers, landlords, lenders, government agencies, or general contractors.

Those requirements may involve:

  • specific liability limits
  • certificates of insurance
  • additional insured status
  • commercial auto limits
  • bonding requirements
  • property coverage
  • other endorsements or policy provisions

If your business receives contractual insurance requirements, providing them to your agent can help determine whether the requested coverage and endorsements are available.

Review Coverage as Your Business Changes

A company's insurance needs can change substantially as the business grows.

A review may be appropriate when you:

  • add employees
  • purchase vehicles
  • acquire new equipment
  • move or add locations
  • increase inventory
  • introduce new products or services
  • work in new geographic areas
  • take on larger contracts
  • begin using subcontractors
  • acquire another company
  • change the way your property or vehicles are used

Keeping your insurance information current helps ensure that the coverage discussion reflects the way your business operates today.
