General Liability

Protection for the injuries, accidents and damage you cause

General liability insurance covers the risks that affect almost every makerspace business. It's the most common insurance for small businesses and entrepreneurs, and it’s typically the first policy purchased by new businesses.

general liability can help you pay for:

Medical payments
Property damage
Legal fees and judgments
Workers' Compensation

Workers' Compensation

For business owners who hire employees

Workers' compensation insurance helps to make sure workers are taken care of if they're hurt on the job, while also protecting makerspace from significant financial losses after an accident. It's legally required in most states for businesses with employees.

workers compensation can help you pay for:

Medical expenses
Lost Wages
Employer liability
Commercial Property

Commercial Property

For business owners who own or rent physical spaces

Commercial property coverage helps protect almost all of the physical items you need to run your business operation as a makerspace, including your equipment, inventory and furniture. And the business income coverage in your property insurance could help cover the revenue you would have earned after an unforeseen flooding, as well as ongoing business expenses while you are closed.

commercial property can help you pay for:

Damaged equipment and inventory

  • Defend yourself if you’re accused of making a mistake that causes someone to lose money.
  • Hire employees. Most states require workers’ compensation insurance if you have employees.
  • Drive for business purposes. Business-owned vehicles typically need commercial auto insurance.
  • Repair or replace commercial property you own or rent. Protect your inventory, equipment and even the building that you lease or own.
