Written by EM Ford | Sep 16, 2020 5:00:00 PM

When you ask a lot of small business owners how their business got started, it’s common to hear that it started out as a side gig that grew into their full-time job. Whether you are embarking on a new side gig or quitting your full-time job to invest fully into a small business, you are going to need insurance to protect your business and your assets. Business insurance can range from general policies to more specific policies including cyber liability, eCommerce insurance and business auto insurance.

Business insurance is designed to protect yourself and your assets from risks such as lawsuits, theft, property damage and employee injury or illness. Without business insurance, your business (AKA you) risks paying for these things out-of-pocket, which could be very costly and effect the financial trajectory of your company’s future. We've included several resources below to help you protect your small business including our free downloadable small business insurance guide-- after all, we're a small business, too.
