Describe your services, customer-site work, and property to the broker, then compare the quote and issued forms with the clause.

Consider general liability, professional errors and omissions (E&O), cyber liability, commercial property, workers’ compensation, and directors and officers. Start with the coverages tied to your day-to-day operations, then use the situations and buying questions below to compare your options. ### [General liability](https://spot.insure/coverage/general-liability) **When it matters:** A customer contract, office lease, demo, or onsite project raises visitor-injury or third-party property-damage questions. [Commercial Insurance Guide](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/105-type/95-guides/09-comm/commercialguide.cfm), [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm) **What to review:** General liability is broadly described for bodily injury, damage to others’ property, and some personal or advertising injury claims. Check your operations and exclusions. [Commercial Insurance Guide](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/105-type/95-guides/09-comm/commercialguide.cfm), [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm) **Ask:** Which customer-site work, demos, products, and premises are described, and what exclusions or sublimits apply? [Commercial Insurance Guide](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/105-type/95-guides/09-comm/commercialguide.cfm), [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm) ### [Professional errors and omissions (E&O)](https://spot.insure/coverage/professional-errors-omissions) **When it matters:** A customer relies on your advice, design, implementation, or professional service. [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm), [Launch your business — Get business insurance](https://www.sba.gov/counseling/launch-your-business/) **What to review:** Professional liability is described broadly for service or advice errors. The form’s service definition and exclusions matter more than the label. [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm), [Launch your business — Get business insurance](https://www.sba.gov/counseling/launch-your-business/) **Ask:** Does the form name the services you sell, and how does it treat rework, missed milestones, or alleged financial loss? [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm), [Launch your business — Get business insurance](https://www.sba.gov/counseling/launch-your-business/) ### [Cyber liability](https://spot.insure/coverage/cyber) **When it matters:** You store customer information, run a network-dependent service, or use vendors with access to data. [Cyber Insurance](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/small-businesses/cybersecurity/cyber-insurance), [Cybersecurity for Small Business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/small-businesses/cybersecurity) **What to review:** FTC describes first-party costs and third-party claims as categories to ask about, not a promise they are included. [Cyber Insurance](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/small-businesses/cybersecurity/cyber-insurance), [Cybersecurity for Small Business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/small-businesses/cybersecurity) **Ask:** Which response, restoration, notification, interruption, vendor-event, defense, and third-party costs are addressed, and what triggers or limits apply? [Cyber Insurance](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/small-businesses/cybersecurity/cyber-insurance), [Cybersecurity for Small Business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/small-businesses/cybersecurity) ### [Commercial property](https://spot.insure/coverage/commercial-property) **When it matters:** You sign a lease or buy equipment, inventory, computers, or other property the company could not readily replace. [Commercial Insurance Guide](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/105-type/95-guides/09-comm/commercialguide.cfm), [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm) **What to review:** Commercial property can address scheduled business property after covered causes of loss. Ask about location, values, deductibles, and exclusions. [Commercial Insurance Guide](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/105-type/95-guides/09-comm/commercialguide.cfm), [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm) **Ask:** Which building interests, contents, equipment, stock, and customer property are scheduled, and on what valuation and covered-peril basis? [Commercial Insurance Guide](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/105-type/95-guides/09-comm/commercialguide.cfm), [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm) ### [Workers’ compensation](https://spot.insure/coverage/workers-compensation) **When it matters:** You hire employees or add a worker in a new state. [DWC employer information](https://www.dir.ca.gov/dwc/employer.htm), [DWC FAQs for employers](https://dir.ca.gov/dwc/faqs.html) **What to review:** California requires employers to provide workers compensation to employees, including employers with one or more employees. Check each work state; do not infer worker status from a contract label. [DWC employer information](https://www.dir.ca.gov/dwc/employer.htm), [DWC FAQs for employers](https://dir.ca.gov/dwc/faqs.html) **Ask:** Which states, duties, payroll, and worker categories are listed, and how are owners or disputed classifications handled? [DWC employer information](https://www.dir.ca.gov/dwc/employer.htm), [DWC FAQs for employers](https://dir.ca.gov/dwc/faqs.html) ### [Directors and officers](https://spot.insure/coverage/directors-officers) **When it matters:** A signed investor or board arrangement asks for D&O, or leadership wants to assess a defined governance exposure. [Consequences of Noncompliance](https://www.sec.gov/resources-small-businesses/capital-raising-building-blocks/consequences-noncompliance), [Small Business ForeFront Portfolio 3.0 for Private Companies](https://www.chubb.com/us-en/business-insurance/forefront-3-0-private-company.html) **What to review:** A named private-company product lists D&O; that does not establish a universal investor, board, or legal requirement or coverage for your company. [Consequences of Noncompliance](https://www.sec.gov/resources-small-businesses/capital-raising-building-blocks/consequences-noncompliance), [Small Business ForeFront Portfolio 3.0 for Private Companies](https://www.chubb.com/us-en/business-insurance/forefront-3-0-private-company.html) **Ask:** Does a signed agreement request D&O? Which entities, people, claims, exclusions, and limits does the proposed form identify? [Consequences of Noncompliance](https://www.sec.gov/resources-small-businesses/capital-raising-building-blocks/consequences-noncompliance), [Small Business ForeFront Portfolio 3.0 for Private Companies](https://www.chubb.com/us-en/business-insurance/forefront-3-0-private-company.html) ## Need Help Choosing Coverage? Spot prepares your applications, coordinates with brokers, and helps you compare quotes so you can choose coverage with the key details in front of you. [Book a Free Consultation](https://cal.com/team/spotinsure/insurance-consultation) ## Before You Sign a Customer Contract or Lease Compare a customer or landlord’s exact insurance wording with the quote. Ask which policy part or endorsement addresses each request, then review the issued policy documents. [Launch your business — Get business insurance](https://www.sba.gov/counseling/launch-your-business/), [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm) For a lease, list location, tenant improvements, equipment, stock, and visitor activity. For a customer contract, list services, products, site work, limits, and requested wording before you agree. [Commercial Insurance Guide](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/105-type/95-guides/09-comm/commercialguide.cfm) ## When You Hire or Expand to Another State Tell the broker where each employee works, what they do, and payroll by state. If anyone works in California, DWC says employers generally need workers compensation even with one employee. Check other states separately. [DWC employer information](https://www.dir.ca.gov/dwc/employer.htm), [DWC FAQs for employers](https://dir.ca.gov/dwc/faqs.html) If hiring includes group health coverage, keep that benefits decision separate from liability insurance. Founders with no employees can review the individual Marketplace route; eligible California employers can compare the state small-business program. [Health Care Insurance Coverage for Self-Employed Individuals](https://www.healthcare.gov/self-employed/), [Covered California for Small Business](https://www.coveredca.com/small-business) ## Compare the Quote With the Work Give the broker a current description of what you sell, how customers use it, vendors and systems you rely on, work locations, and property you own or hold for others. Ask where each activity appears in the quote. [Launch your business — Get business insurance](https://www.sba.gov/counseling/launch-your-business/), [Commercial Insurance Guide](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/105-type/95-guides/09-comm/commercialguide.cfm) Compare limits, deductibles, exclusions, and waiting periods against losses that could threaten cash flow. A BOP may package property, liability, and business interruption for some small businesses; eligibility and included terms vary. [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm), [Business Interruption and Business Owner Policy](https://content.naic.org/insurance-topics/business-interruption-and-business-owner-policy) ## Providers to Compare by Coverage These providers document the coverage listed below.
