Business Insurance — BlueNova Insurance Agency

Coverage Details

What Business Insurance Covers

Commercial insurance is not one-size-fits-all. BlueNova builds customized coverage packages based on your industry, size, and specific risk profile:

✓
General Liability — Covers bodily injury, property damage, personal injury, and advertising injury claims against your business. Typically required by clients, landlords, and contracts.
✓
Commercial Property — Protects your building, equipment, inventory, and business personal property from fire, theft, vandalism, and weather damage.
✓
Workers' Compensation — Covers medical expenses and lost wages for employees injured on the job. Required by law in most states for businesses with employees.
✓
Professional Liability (E&O) — Covers claims alleging errors, negligence, or omissions in the professional services you provide. Essential for consultants, contractors, and service businesses.

Who Needs It

Built for Businesses of Every Size

Whether you're a sole proprietor, a growing startup, or an established mid-size company, BlueNova has commercial coverage designed for your stage of growth. We serve restaurants, retail stores, contractors, consultants, medical practices, real estate firms, and more. Even home-based businesses need coverage — your homeowners policy explicitly excludes business activities. A single liability claim or property loss can shutter a small business. BlueNova makes sure that doesn't happen to yours.

Commercial Vehicles & Trucking

Does Your Business Use Trucks or Commercial Vehicles?

Standard Business Owner's Policies (BOPs) and general liability coverage do not cover vehicles used for business purposes. If your business owns, leases, or uses trucks, vans, or any commercial vehicle, you need a separate commercial auto or commercial truck policy.

For owner-operators and trucking companies, specialized commercial truck insurance provides primary liability, cargo coverage, physical damage protection, and DOT/MC filings — all in a single program built specifically for your operation.

✓
Primary Liability — Required FMCSA minimums ($750K–$5M) filed directly with the DOT.
✓
Motor Truck Cargo — Protects freight and goods you haul while in transit.
✓
Physical Damage — Covers your truck and trailer from accidents, theft, and weather.
✓
Non-Trucking Liability — Bobtail coverage for when you drive off-dispatch.

FAQs

Business Insurance FAQs

A Business Owner's Policy bundles General Liability and Commercial Property coverage into a single, cost-effective policy designed for small to mid-size businesses. A BOP typically costs 20–30% less than purchasing each coverage separately. Many businesses can start with a BOP and add endorsements for specific risks.

Texas is unique — it is the only state that does not require most private employers to carry workers' compensation insurance. However, businesses that contract with government entities are typically required to carry it, and many clients and contracts will require it. Even when not legally mandated, workers' comp protects your business from costly injury lawsuits. Our agents can help you determine whether it's required for your industry and operations.

Yes. Standard homeowners and renters policies explicitly exclude business-related claims. If a client visits your home office and gets injured, or if business equipment is stolen, your home policy will not cover it. A Home Business Endorsement or separate Business Owner's Policy is essential for any home-based business.

Commercial umbrella insurance provides additional liability coverage above and beyond your existing business policy limits. For example, if your general liability limit is $1M and a judgment against you is $2.5M, an umbrella policy covers the excess. It's one of the most cost-effective ways to significantly increase your protection.
