Consider these cautionary tales of San Marcos businesses that learned the hard way about the importance of adequate insurance:

• A small marketing firm thought they could save money by forgoing cyber liability coverage. When a hacker breached their network and stole sensitive client data, the firm was left paying for customer notifications, credit monitoring, and legal fees out of their own pocket. The incident nearly bankrupted the company.
• A popular San Marcos restaurant had a general liability policy but failed to add liquor liability coverage. When an intoxicated patron caused a serious car accident after leaving the restaurant, the business was sued for overserving. Without liquor liability coverage, the restaurant owners had to sell the business to cover the settlement costs.
• A San Marcos manufacturer skimped on workers’ compensation coverage, thinking their safety protocols made accidents unlikely. When an employee suffered a severe injury on the job, the manufacturer was hit with a massive lawsuit that could have been avoided with proper coverage.

Don’t let your business become another cautionary tale. 

Work with The Allen Thomas Group to ensure you have the comprehensive coverage you need to protect your livelihood.

Several factors can impact your business insurance premiums, including:

• Industry and type of business
• Size of your company (revenue, number of employees, etc.)
• Claims history
• Location and physical assets
• Coverage limits and deductibles
• Risk management practices

Our agents will work with you to identify areas where you may be able to lower your premiums without sacrificing essential coverage.

• Bundle policies: Combining multiple types of coverage with the same carrier can often result in discounts.
• Increase deductibles: Higher deductibles generally mean lower premiums. Just make sure you can afford the deductible in the event of a claim.
• Implement risk management practices: Showing insurers that you’re proactive about managing risks can lead to lower premiums.
• Review coverage annually: As your business evolves, your insurance needs may change. Regular reviews can help you identify areas where you may be overinsured or underinsured.
