I just moved into a new business location. My lease states that I must list my landlord as an additional insured. Is that easy to do? Do I just call my insurance and have them add right away or do I have to wait until it is time to renew? Also, approximately by what percentage will that cause my insurance to go up? I have already had a rate increase because I live in Louisiana (Katrina). It is still affordable but I am scared that adding on the additional insured may cause it to double, which I can’t really afford.

I have a small business in New Orleans. I got a letter from Allstate tthat when I renew my business policy in October, they will not longer be covering any damages from windstorms or hail. That is real depresing. Has anyone else gotten any notice of this? If we have another hurricane, this policy change will essentially put the city out of business. Small businesses wil not be able to recover from that type of loss as many of us already have SBA loans from Katrina. I plan on contacting the insurance commissioner. Please feel free to email me if you have gotten notice that your insurance company will do this. If we all contact the insurance commissioner together, maybe we will be heard.

I have a small design company (sub-s; only two employees, me and my partner) and I keep hearing from friends/colleagues that getting business insurance is a must, since we might be liable for a lot of weird issues (websites being hacked, bad printing, bad contracts, etc.)
So is it really a good idea to get and if so, where do I go to begin? costs? issues? etc?

I’m starting a dog care business. To get a quote they require a lot of information which as a start up we don’t have. Does anyone know about how much I will have to pay for insurance? I’m just trying to get a ballpark number for our expenses.
Thanks!

I am self employed and just started a small cleaning service for business and residential. I am the only employee and I want to be insured. How much insurance should I get to start off with and how much should I expect to pay monthly for it?

Describe the measures they take in hopes to contain the cost of health insurance.

my friend is doing a project for her college class and needs to know a rough estimate on the yearly cost of small business insurance. Her “business,” is a used furniture partnership with a few part time employees. It does not need to be exact but time is a factor so any quick answers would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance!

My husband and I recently started a mobile buisiness. We have no “location.” The business is run and the service is provided on location at the customer’s request. We have set our business up as a sole proprietorship. Do you suggest insurance? If so, what kind?

The Ltd Company is based in the UK, has traded for about 6 months, has 2 Directors who work there full time and 2 interns who operate from the office premises.
What is the approximate cost for business insurance for such a Company?

Me and a few of my friends want to try to start a small geospatial business in Pennsylvania, and I was wondering how much business insurance for that would cost? Like roughly how much per month? And where could I find more information about business insurance for a geospatial company?
