The Commercial Insurance Center (CIC) helps companies of all sizes across nearly all industries find the best business insurance coverage in the shortest amount of time.
Small business insurance (sometimes called commercial insurance) protects your assets, income, and property from unexpected costs.
These costs could arise from any number of unforeseen events, like workplace injuries, theft, lawsuits, accidents, or natural disasters. Without insurance, these events could have devastating financial effects on your business.
Just like personal insurance, it’s better to have business insurance and not need it than to need it and not have it.
Regardless of what industry your business operates in, the CIC can help. Here are just a few of the many business types that the CIC matches with best-fit agents for business insurance:

Business owner’s policy insurance provides comprehensive coverage by bundling multiple types of business insurance into a single policy. BOP insurance usually consists of general liability, commercial property, and business income interruption insurance. Bundling with a BOP policy saves you money versus purchasing stand-alone policies.
Commercial auto insurance protects vehicles used for business purposes, including cars, trucks, vans, and others owned or leased by your business. If you rely on transportation to get the job done, you need insurance for your commercial vehicle.
Cyber insurance protects you against the consequences of a cyber incident, such as a data breach, network security failure, cyber extortion (like ransomware), and other types of cyber attacks. This is necessary if your business digitally transmits or stores the private data of your customers or employees.
General liability insurance covers a wide range of risks. It can shield you from financial losses and legal expenses from customer injuries or damage to their property. This business insurance is necessary if your business advertises, owns property open to visitors, or performs work that could result in personal injury or property damage.
Professional liability insurance protects service providers when their advice or actions could have significant financial or health-related consequences. This is designed for professional service providers like accountants, consultants, lawyers, engineers, doctors, etc.
Required by law in most states, this covers the financial needs of employers and employees in case of any workplace illness or injury. You should have WC if you own a business where you or your employees are at risk of even a minor job-related illness or injury.

There are many reasons why it’s so important to work with an experienced, live agent who will take the time to understand your business classification and find the carriers and insurance policies you need.
You may not know that there are thousands of official business classifications. If your business is misclassified, that could lead to higher than necessary business insurance premiums or claim denial.
You also might not know that commercial insurance carriers have preferences for which types of businesses they insure. And these preferences are constantly changing. If you don’t know which carrier is right to cover your risks, you could easily select one that isn’t right for you, leading to application denial.
These are just a few examples of what could go wrong if you decide not to work with an agent like the ones who specialize in business insurance at the CIC. We work with millions of small business owners and the most trusted national, regional, and speciality carriers to protect your needs.
