  • As businesses grow, their risks evolve. What may have been a sufficient insurance policy in the early stages may no longer provide adequate coverage as operations expand, revenue increases, and new assets come into play.

The article from TheStreet discusses how the growth of a business significantly impacts its insurance needs. As a business expands, it faces new risks and liabilities that require adjustments in insurance coverage. Initially, a small business might only need basic policies like general liability insurance. However, with growth, the complexity of operations increases, necessitating additional types of insurance such as workers' compensation, commercial auto insurance, professional liability, and cyber insurance due to increased digital operations. The article highlights that business owners must reassess their insurance annually or with any major changes like new product lines, entering new markets, or significant staff increases. It also emphasizes the importance of understanding that underinsurance can lead to financial vulnerability, while overinsurance can unnecessarily inflate costs. Therefore, aligning insurance coverage with the current scale and scope of business activities is crucial for protection against potential risks while maintaining cost efficiency.
