Florida market
What Florida businesses need
Most small businesses in Florida need at minimum General Liability (slip-and-fall, customer property damage, advertising injury). If you own or lease commercial space and own physical assets, a Business Owners Policy (BOP) bundles GL with property and is usually cheaper than buying both separately.
Florida requires Workers Compensation insurance for most employers with four or more employees (one or more in construction). Penalties for being uninsured are steep — Florida is aggressive on enforcement.
Industry-specific add-ons matter: Cyber Liability for any business handling customer data, Professional Liability (E&O) for service providers, Commercial Auto for vehicles used in business, and Liquor Liability for restaurants and bars.
