Common mistakes
Check general liability per year
The entered policies reflect the business’s actual needs. Make sure this matches the number you enter.
Keep renewal buffer consistent
Taxes, broker fees, and claims are excluded unless included in premiums. Use the same units and time period throughout the calculation.
Do not rely on one business insurance budget scenario
Run a cautious case and an optimistic case. The range is often more useful than one exact-looking number.
