What Type of Commercial Insurance your Business Needs?

Size is one of the biggest factors, but it certainly is not the only determining factor that goes into deciding what type of insurance your business needs. Other factors include:

Whether the building is either owned by your business, is leased, or is rented. For instance, a company who owns their own building may pay less than someone who rents a building, but someone who leases a building may also pay less than someone who rents.
How many years a company has been in business. For instance, an established company who has a track record of caution and attention to detail is easier to back with insurance than a new company with an unknown risk level.
Where the company is located. If a company is in a rougher neighborhood, their insurance might be higher due to the higher risk of needing to access that insurance.
