Frequently asked questions about business insurance

How does business insurance protect interior designers?

Our interior designer insurance packages are designed to protect your business from a variety of risks and help you save money to grow your business. You can be protected from financial losses related to:

Damage to someone’s property

You accidentally break an expensive lamp while taking measurements in a client’s home. The general liability coverage in your insurance package could help pay for a replacement.**

Accidents that hurt someone

A client slips on some fabric swatches on the floor and injures their ankle. Your general liability coverage could also come into play here by helping to pay for medical costs and legal fees.

Professional mistakes

You incorrectly installed a lighting fixture by mistake. Professional liability coverage could help pay to redo the installation.

Workplace injuries

You strain your back while arranging furniture in a client’s home. Workers’ compensation coverage can help cover medical bills and lost wages — not to mention it’s usually required by law if you have employees.

Injuries and damage involving your business vehicles

You dent another car in the parking lot when arriving at a commercial client’s business. Commercial auto coverage can help pay for the repairs. This coverage is also usually required by law for business-owned vehicles.

Damage to your own property

Your office is robbed and several expensive electronics are stolen. Commercial property insurance can help with replacement or repair costs if your owned or leased property is damaged due to a covered event, such as a burst water pipe, fire, tornado or vandalism.
