- Auto InsuranceInsurance rates in general have been mostly flat for a few years now. However, commercial auto insurance is on a rapid rate incline. There are many factors to the rate increases, but the primary driver is the new technology onboard vehicles and cost to repair them. Think about how much cars have advanced in the past few years... there are cameras, sensors, multiple screens, self parking, self driving even! A small “fender bender” that might have cost less than a thousand dollars is now averaging a few thousand dollars. Specialized labor and parts costs mean that you can’t usually repair a significant accident for less than $10,000. Insurance carriers have had to play catch up with rates in the meantime.

- Workers Compensation InsuranceI'm sure you have heard of the duck test, "If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck." I have mentioned this before, but if you have staff you are required by law (most states) to carry workers' compensation insurance. Workers' compensation insurance primarily provides coverage for your employees if they are injured on the job and need medical attention as well as disability income while out due to the injury.
- Liability InsuranceLiability Umbrella - Many venues will require more than 1 million dollars in general liability. An umbrella policy is just what it sounds like. It bumps your general liability, auto liability and workers' compensation to 2 million, 3 million or more depending on the limit chosen. If you are in a major metro area chances are you will be asked for higher than 1 million limits. It's worth the $400 or so to add, DO IT !
