Why Small Businesses Need Insurance

Running a small business may come with many rewards, but it may also expose you to unique risks and challenges.

At Poole Insurance Agency, we understand how important it is for small business owners to protect what they’ve worked hard to build. Business insurance is not just a safety net—it’s a crucial part of a strong risk management strategy that can help your company thrive, even when the unexpected happens.

Understanding the Risks Small Businesses Face

Every business, regardless of its size or industry, faces potential risks. In Texas, these can include property damage from severe weather, liability claims from customers, employee injuries or even cyber threats.

Here are some ways your business can benefit from insurance policies:

• Financial protection against lawsuits. Minor accidents or damage to a customer’s property can be costly. A general liability policy can help cover medical bills, legal costs and other relevant expenses caused by third-party claims.
• Covering your property. Commercial property insurance can help repair or replace your building, equipment or inventory after incidents like fires, certain weather events or theft.
• Employee coverage: If you have employees, workers’ compensation insurance may be necessary, as it can help cover their medical expenses and lost wages after a workplace accident
• Business continuity: Business interruption insurance can help replace lost income if your operations are temporarily halted due to a covered event.

Knowing you have enough financial protection in place allows you to focus on growing your business and not worry about what might go wrong.
