For the sake of generality, let’s look at one of the biggest contributing factors to commercial insurance rates – size. The size of a business directly affects the amount of coverage it will need. Below are some typical business sizes and what types of commercial insurance might be right for them. These are merely for comparison. Consult with your insurance provider, or call us here at Farmer Brown, before making any decisions about what type of commercial insurances to purchase.
| Size of Business | Examples of Businesses That Fall Under This Size | Common Insurance Packages for This Type of Business |
|---|---|---|
| Micro | Bookshops, local tour businesses, bed, and breakfasts, etc. Any business that employs fewer than 10 people and has a yearly revenue of less than $1,000,000 | Business Owner’s Policy, or a combination of:
|
| Small | Artisan builders and contractors, bakers, artists, coffee shops, etc. Any business that employs fewer than 50 people and has an annual revenue of no more than $2,000,000 | Business Owner’s Policy, or a combination of:
|
| Medium | Restaurants, Construction companies, small retail chains, small grocery chains, etc. Any business that employs fewer than 250 people and has an annual revenue of no more than $50,000,000 |
|
| Large | Call centers, Large retail chains, Real Estate Giants, Big data chains, etc. Any business that employs more than 250 people and makes more than $100 million annually |

As you can see, the larger the business is, the more types of insurance are recommended to keep the business you’ve worked so hard to get secure.

There are some small businesses that will still use some of the more specific insurance types, like contractors and artisan builders, who need builder’s risk insurance.
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.
