AI Summary ยท Business Insurance

What is business insurance in South Carolina?

Business insurance in South Carolina is a category of coverage that protects companies from financial loss due to liability claims, property damage, lawsuits, and operational disruptions. Most SC small businesses begin with a Business Owners Policy (BOP), which bundles general liability with commercial property coverage at a lower combined cost than buying each separately. SC also requires workers compensation insurance for businesses with 4 or more employees, with limited exceptions.

Common SC business insurance coverages:

Business Coverage We Offer

From sole proprietors to growing small businesses, we find the right coverage combination for your specific operation.

โš–๏ธ General Liability

Covers bodily injury and property damage claims made against your business. Often required by clients and landlords. The foundation of any business insurance plan.

Bundles general liability and commercial property coverage into one convenient policy โ€” typically at a lower cost than buying each separately. Ideal for most small businesses.

Personal auto insurance doesn't cover vehicles used for business purposes. If you or your employees drive for work, commercial auto coverage is essential.

๐Ÿ‘ท Workers' Compensation

Required in SC for most businesses with four or more employees. Covers medical costs and lost wages for employees injured on the job.

๐Ÿ’ป Professional Liability

Also called Errors & Omissions (E&O). Protects you if a client claims your professional advice or services caused them financial harm.

๐Ÿ”’ Cyber Liability

Covers costs related to data breaches, cyberattacks, and privacy violations. Increasingly important for any business that stores customer data.

Business Insurance FAQs

South Carolina requires workers' compensation for most businesses with four or more employees, and commercial auto if your business uses vehicles. General liability is not legally required but is often required by clients, landlords, and licensing boards โ€” and is essential protection regardless.
A BOP combines general liability and commercial property insurance into one package policy, usually at a lower cost than buying each separately. It's ideal for most small to medium-sized businesses that have a physical location and face common liability risks.
Yes. Your homeowners policy does not cover business-related liability or business property above a very low sub-limit ($1,500โ€“$2,500). If a client visits your home and is injured, or if business equipment is stolen or damaged, you likely have no coverage without a separate business policy. Home-based business policies are available and often very affordable.
