What Can Business Insurance Do For You?

Starting and running a business is hard enough without worrying about the things that can go wrong. Damage to your inventory, theft, employee injuries, lawsuits — these are just a few of the expensive problems you can encounter as a business owner.

You're right to be concerned about how the unexpected can impact and hurt your company. When you're covered by the right business insurance in Santa Cruz, Santa Clara and Monterey counties, you enjoy real peace of mind. You concentrate on taking care of daily operations while Allanson Insurance protects your business.

Types of Coverage

PROPERTY COVERAGE

Property coverage is often divided into two parts in a business policy:

Fixed Property - Buildings, fixtures, etc.

Contents - Equipment, inventory, etc.

Property coverage can also be designed with a blanket limit. Your property can be covered as All Risk or Specified Perils. Earthquake and flood coverage are available as well.

LIABILITY COVERAGE

General Liability insurance protects your company's assets by covering you if someone is hurt on your property or you, your product, or your employees cause injuries or property damage.

Key Liability Questions:
Have you reviewed your business insurance within the last 12 months?
Do you transact business off-site?
Do you serve alcoholic beverages at functions?
Do you sell products that can potentially cause harm?
Do you or your employees operate personal vehicles while doing business?

BUSINESS INTERRUPTION

What happens if your business shuts down? Who pays the bills? Will you be able to reopen when things get back to normal? Business interruption coverage is often overlooked. It shouldn't be. Let our insurance experts review your current policy and make sure you're completely protected.

I have dealt with many insurance agencies and insurance agents over the years and there are a few that stand out because of their character and excellence.Clayton Carter is such an agent.When you meet people that take their own initiative to go out of their way to help you understand or achieve something, this has been my experience every time with Clayton.The insurance industry is complex and Clinton has the ability to take a complex issue and make it easy to understand. That is just one of the many great things about him, however, I would say the number one thing about Clayton that stands out to me is that I've never had to prompt him to parse the information down and help me understand what I need to know to make smart decisions and potentially save me time and money.Thank you again, Clayton, for the insight and value you bring to the table.Will--William S.

Karen and Diamond at Allanson Insurance Agency are absolutely awesome. We needed some documents urgently and rather than giving the stock answer of "It takes 3 to 4 business days" Karen dove in to see how she could expedite things and to our delight, we had the documents available the next day! Very happy with all aspects of Allanson Insurance.read more

Will was more than helpful in securing a policy for our home (located in a high fire area) in Aptos. The previous policy could not be renewed due to the recent fires, Will was able to get a new policy written in a matter of days. He kept us in the loop through the entire process and ultimately was able to get us better coverage than we had under the last policy. I would highly recommend giving Will a call if you are in need of new homeowners insurance.read more
