Whether your business has one vehicle or a fleet of 50, Beck Insurance will ensure you have the proper coverage. Following the Michigan No-Fault law, business auto insurance covers liability for drivers and property damage for all of your company’s on-the-road vehicles, as well as employee-owned vehicles used for business purposes.
Michigan No-Fault Insurance is required by law. The basic No-Fault policy you must purchase has three parts:
Basic No-Fault Insurance does not pay for physical damage to your company-owned vehicles. Beck Insurance will help you determine the sufficient amount of coverage needed to cause the least disruption to the daily operation of your business.
If you have employees, then you probably need a workers’ compensation policy. Unlike other types of insurance, workers’ compensation rules vary from state to state. Michigan law requires all employers to provide workers’ compensation benefits, either by purchasing insurance or by obtaining state-approved self-insured status. Under this status, the employer maintains its own fund from which it pays workers’ compensation benefits. Workers’ compensation provides coverage to your employees for work-related injuries or illnesses. It provides the following benefits:
A workers’ compensation policy also protects you as the employer by preventing an injured worker from suing you for pain, suffering, and lost wages.
Although it’s not required by law, all businesses, including home-based businesses, should have general liability insurance.
General liability insurance protects you, your business, and your employees from third-party claims involving bodily injury or property damage. This policy also protects you against claims of libel or slander.
In many business situations, you may be required to have general liability insurance before entering into a contract with an individual or another business.
Beck Insurance will help you determine what level of general liability coverage you need.

Also known as Errors & Omissions or malpractice insurance, professional liability insurance goes beyond a general liability policy to cover mistakes that might occur as you conduct business. If your business relies on your expertise, such as doctors, lawyers, accountants, consultants, and others, you’re likely required by law to carry professional liability insurance.

Going beyond your standard property insurance policies, inland marine insurance covers your moveable property, wherever it’s located. (The name inland marine is a historical term that has evolved over time, referring to the equipment and tools “floating” from job to job.)
An inland marine policy can cover a variety of items against damage or loss, such as:

Beck Insurance will help you identify if you need inland marine insurance based on daily operations of your business.
