Is Commercial Insurance Required in Florida?

There is no one-size-fits-all commercial insurance policy for your business in Jacksonville, FL. Still, some parts of commercial insurance will be required if you want to operate a business in the state of Florida. There are two types of commercial insurance required in the state, but an agent at 925 Partners can help you determine which coverage is best for your business, even if it isn’t required. 

If you want to operate a business in Florida and have four or more employees, whether part-time or full time, then you will need to have workers compensation insurance. If you run a business in the construction industry, then you must have this type of commercial insurance, even if you have only one employee. Workers’ compensation covers medical bills for any work-related illnesses or injuries. If you have business-owned vehicles in the state, then you will also need to have a commercial auto insurance policy. The policy should have $10,000 for liability for bodily injury and $10,000 for property damage liability. Just like personal auto insurance, it covers property damage and injuries after accidents. Keep in mind that a personal auto policy will generally exclude you if you are using your car for commercial purposes.

Even if it is not required, it’s still best for businesses to have some added liability protection. General liability can be needed to cover common risks, such as customer injuries and property damage. Professional liability insurance can be used to protect you if your work depends on the expertise and includes things such as client lawsuits. Depending on the size of your business, you may be able to get a business owner’s policy to help you bundle general liability insurance and property insurance and protect your company against a variety of different business risks.
