What Is Commercial Insurance?

Commercial insurance is a type of insurance designed to protect businesses, organizations, and professionals from potential financial losses that can arise during the course of running a business. Unlike personal insurance, which covers individuals and families, commercial insurance focuses on safeguarding business-related assets, operations, and liabilities.

Whether you run a small retail store or a large manufacturing unit, every business faces risks — accidents, property damage, legal claims, employee injuries, or even unexpected disruptions. These risks can lead to significant financial strain if not planned for in advance.

Commercial insurance provides a financial safety net that helps your business recover from these setbacks, continue operations smoothly, and meet legal or contractual obligations where required.
