Would you have business insurance if it wasn’t a legal necessity? Most people would likely say, “No way, I wouldn’t go near it.” Nobody likes paying for things like insurance until the day comes when they need help.
Hopefully, you’ll start to feel a little better when your payments are due. Instead of wasting time worrying about expenses, focus on how you can sell more. Let’s discuss why insurance could save your career/business from going under.

1. A Client Could Sue You
Kids dream of becoming doctors because they want to save lives. Who doesn’t want to make the world a better place? Sadly, it’s not all unicorns and rainbows. If doctors mess up a patient might decide to sue them.
Professionals face the same thing in many different industries, which is why professional E&O insurance is crucial. It doesn’t matter if you’re great at your job. You can’t prevent 100% of accidents from taking place.
2. You Look More Credible
Homes are the most expensive purchase people will ever make, so they’re careful about who gets to work on them. If someone has a problem with their heating system, they’ll want someone with HVAC business insurance.
Customers won’t just be worried about something going wrong. If you don’t have the right insurance, you won’t seem credible. Without credibility, you’ll lose most of your potential customers before they even speak to you.
3. Disabilities And Deaths
It’s easy to feel invincible if you’ve never suffered from serious health problems. What will you do if you can’t work because you’re ill? Plus, if you die insurance can help your family protect the business from folding.
Key person insurance will also help if you lose essential employees due to disability or death. Unless you own a large company, it’s unlikely you’ll have more than one person capable of carrying out every task.
4. Attracting Great Employees
Good employees who know their worth might decide to leave if you don’t offer attractive benefits packages. Not only is it expensive to train new employees, but it’s frustrating when you don’t want to lose your old ones.
Insurance is going to help attract future employees too. I know lots of people are looking for a job right now, but it’s hard to get the best talent. Bringing invaluable people in can skyrocket your profits pretty fast.
5. The Next Global Pandemic
Covid has shown everyone it’s impossible to predict what will happen next. Will there be another global pandemic after this one goes away? Probably not for 100 years, but it’s going to happen at some point in the future.
Tornados, hurricanes, and floods seem to be getting worse every year too. If you live in the wrong area, it could affect your business. You’ve also got to worry about more common things like fires and burglars.
Don’t Worry About Your Next Payment
I know it would be nice if you could pocket your next insurance payment, but at least you’ll always have peace of mind going forwards.
