How Do I Increase Limits in Insurance?
Every small company needs business insurance, and every business insurance policy has a “limit”, meaning how much it will pay for a covered incident. It’s important that your limits in insurance coverage increase as your business risk increases—like when you hire more people, start working for a larger number of clients, or take on different types of work or new types of clients.
When those types of changes occur, an important question you should ask is, “How do I increase my business insurance limits?” Why do you need to know this? It’s because you want to have enough coverage so you aren’t left with a large out-of-pocket expense if the unexpected happens.
