levibrks asked: I have a small design company (sub-s; only two employees, me and my partner) and I keep hearing from friends/colleagues that getting business insurance is a must, since we might be liable for a lot of weird issues (websites being hacked, bad printing, bad contracts, etc.)
So is it really a good idea to get and if so, where do I go to begin? costs? issues? etc?

Just Me asked:
I just moved into a new business location. My lease states that I must list my landlord as an additional insured. Is that easy to do? Do I just call my insurance and have them add right away or do I have to wait until it is time to renew? Also, approximately by what percentage will that cause my insurance to go up? I have already had a rate increase because I live in Louisiana (Katrina). It is still affordable but I am scared that adding on the additional insured may cause it to double, which I can’t really afford.

just making it happen asked:
When a business does most of its work online or in the clients location, what business insurance plans apply? Is liability insurance necessary for the office even if clients rarely come to the office?

Rachel L asked:
I’m starting a dog care business. To get a quote they require a lot of information which as a start up we don’t have. Does anyone know about how much I will have to pay for insurance? I’m just trying to get a ballpark number for our expenses.
Thanks!

saul a asked: I’ve been the owner of a casual sit down restaurant (owner of business and building) for sometime now. In this time, I’ve realized that the food industry is truly hectic and I need a change of pace. With real estate under turmoil, selling the business with the building has been quite a challenge. Thus, I am looking into renting the business out. However, I don’t exactly know what to do…
1.) What do I do about the business license? Can I rent it out too?
2.) What about business insurance? How is this passed on?
3.) How can I rent my equipment and cover myself if damage is done to it?
4.) Is renting it out a good idea, in your opinion? I am concerned that a renter may not care about the restaurant and taint its reputation. Then I’ll be left with a failing restaurant.
5.) Lastly, what is the best resource to go to for this? Is there a good book I should read?!
THANKS SO MUCH!!

sdnz32 asked: Im certified to install vehicle graphics and to install full vehicle wraps.
I am looking to start going from sign shop to sign shop to do vehicle wrap installations since many sign shops do not have the know how.
What do I need to do this? A business license, insurance, etc.?

jacobjohnfrance asked:
It is just me running the business as a sole trader. There are no employees, virtually no capital (except my laptop) and no physical goods. Turnover is less than $40k. Do I need to take out business insurance or can I go without it? The only reason I ask is because the bank has a business insurance question section on the business bank account application form. Thanks in advance.
