As a business, it’s increasingly difficult to retain employees. Nobody wants to lose their incredible workforce only to have to spend money to attract and train new employees. It’s a pain, and one that you as a business owner can avoid by setting yourself apart from other employers with a competitive health benefits package.

A great insurance package is one of the best ways to retain your key employees, reduce turnover, and save the financial expenses associated with hiring and training. The cost of such a policy is considered a business expense, and can in fact be deducted as such. In fact, most policies don’t even require your employees to undergo a medical examination.

General third-party liability is included in general liability coverage, which covers the following types of claims:

• Injuries resulting in physical damage or loss.
• Property damage or loss.
• Personal or advertising injury, including slander or libel.
• Medical expenses.

Errors and omissions covers a growing number of claims due to new occupations that are held to higher service standards. If you charge a fee for a service, you may be held liable for financial losses in the following scenarios:

• Breach of contract.
• Defective designs.
• Delay in delivery.
• Inaccurate advice or information.

To avoid a potential lawsuit, both for-profit and nonprofit organizations will find this type of coverage useful. Protect the members of your board of directors, as well as others responsible for overseeing your business.
