Launching a business in the Valley? Insurance isn’t the exciting part, but the right coverage early keeps one bad day from ending the venture — and clients often won’t sign without it.
Start with the foundation
- A business owner’s policy (BOP) — bundles general liability and property affordably for most new businesses.
- Workers’ comp — required in California the moment you hire.
Add coverage for your model
- Give advice or services? Professional liability (E&O).
- Handle customer data? Cyber liability.
- Vehicles for the business? Commercial auto.
The COI that wins your first contract
Many first clients and landlords require a certificate of insurance before they’ll work with you. Having coverage ready means you don’t lose the deal waiting on paperwork.
