4. Can you have 2 commercial
insurances?
As a commercial policyholder, it is important to have a valid, adequate, and sufficient insurance policy to meet the possible risks of your business. Insurance is a contract between the policyholder and the insurance company and is there to ensure that both parties benefit from the contract. In most cases, an insurance policy can be transferred from one insurance company to another. There are no set rules on how many policies you can have. All policies are different,
so check with your insurer before taking out a new policy.
5. I have a small tea shop. Can I get commercial insurance
for my shop?
It's a good idea to insure your business – such as your tea shop – to protect yourself against various risks. You can also purchase a policy that covers both your business and personal property. Protecting yourself is important, because the last thing you want to do is to get caught without the insurance you need when something bad happens to your business. For example, say someone finds their way into your shop, and they slip on a puddle of water in the middle of the floor. If you're not insured, and this person decides to sue you for their injuries,
then you and your business are in a lot of trouble.
6. What things to check before getting commercial
insurance?
Here are some things to check before getting a policy:
1. Coverage: The first thing to check is the coverage provided. Always look for even smaller
details regarding the coverage terms.
2. Exclusions: Read the exclusions of the policy to see what is specific to your business.
3. Age of the policy: You should make sure that the age of the policy is not very low. Your business may not be very profitable
in the initial years, but you should make sure that you are covered for those initial years.
4. Claims record: You should read the claims history of the insurance company. This will help you decide whether to
continue with the current insurer or look for a new one.
