Business Insurance Coverage from Experienced Massachusetts Agents
What is Business Insurance?
Businesses face many different risks that they must prepare for. Purchasing the right business insurance policies is one way that Massachusetts businesses can reduce some of their risk exposure.
Business insurance is also called “commercial insurance.” The two terms generally delineate insurance policies that are underwritten for businesses from those that are provided to individuals. Individuals’ policies frequently go by “personal insurance.”

What Massachusetts Businesses Need Commercial Insurance Policies?
All Massachusetts businesses need to purchase some type of commercial insurance. Each business has its own unique set of risks to protect against, so businesses don’t all need the same set of commercial policies. All businesses face risks that insurance can protect them from.Do Limited Liability Corporations Need Insurance?
Limited liability corporations and other similar business entity structures may provide some form of legal protection for a business and its owner(s), but these legal entities don’t offer protection in the way that insurance policies do. Therefore, LLCs and all other forms of legal entities do need some form of insurance coverage.

What Are Business Owners Policies and Commercial Package Policies?
Many businesses ultimately purchase either a business owners policy or a commercial package policy. Both of these are package policies that combine individual insurance coverages together into one product. Business owners policies are intended to provide protection for small businesses, and commercial package policies normally provide more flexible options for businesses with advanced insurance needs.When purchasing either a business owners policy or a commercial package policy, businesses usually get a discount. The discount is usually a substantial savings off of what all the coverages would cost if they were purchased individually.
Are Commercial Policies’ Premiums Tax-Deductible?
In most cases, premiums paid for commercial policies are tax-deductible as a business expense so long as they’re used solely to insure a business. Policies that also offer personal coverage (e.g. an auto policy that insures a vehicle used for both personal and work-related driving) may not be fully tax-deductible.Because tax laws are detailed and change periodically, businesses should consult with a qualified tax professional before writing off any premiums as a business expense
