Does your business need Inland Marine Insurance?
This coverage can be essential to protecting business property depending on the type of small business you own. Consider the items you place in your car or truck on a daily basis to get your work done; or the valuables, including data, you own or are responsible for. Most property policies limit or exclude coverage for these items. Perhaps you are in the construction trade or are building an addition to your office. Inland Marine Insurance can protect the building materials—and a contractor’s tools and equipment. If you clean, repair, service or perform work on property you do not own, Inland Marine Insurance can work for you. It can cover losses to goods that occur at your premises, while being transported to or from your premises or in storage.
