Main Street Small Business insurance questions, answered.

What does small-business insurance typically cost?

Premium depends on your trade, payroll, gross receipts, square footage, state, and prior loss history. A salon prices very differently than a small accounting office. Final cost is subject to underwriting and the carriers writing your class.

What's a BOP and is it right for my business?

A Business Owners Policy bundles property and general liability, and usually equipment breakdown and limited business interruption, into a single packaged policy aimed at smaller, lower-risk operations. It's the right placement for most Main Street trades that fit the carrier's eligibility (square footage, sales, occupancy type). High-hazard or higher-revenue operations often need standalone policies instead. Eligibility is subject to underwriting.

Do I need cyber insurance as a small business?

Yes. Small-business operators are repeat targets for ransomware, social-engineering wire fraud, and customer-data breaches, and most BOPs include only nominal cyber sublimits, not real coverage. Standalone cyber at $250K to $1M with breach-response services built in is the typical right-size placement, depending on customer-data volume and payment-processing setup.

What policies does a Main Street business need?

A typical small-business program includes a Business Owners Policy, standalone Cyber, Workers Compensation, a Commercial Umbrella sized to your largest liability exposure, Hired and Non-Owned Auto if anyone drives, and Crime/Fidelity for employee-theft and money-handling exposure. Coverage is subject to underwriting.

How fast can I get a Certificate of Insurance for the landlord or a vendor?

Standard ACORD 25 certificates issue in seconds through the portal, ChatGPT, Claude, Slack, email, or phone. Custom holder language (additional insured, waiver of subrogation, primary and non-contributory) is typically produced within minutes after a licensed broker confirms the wording. There is no per-COI fee.

How does Delegance reduce broker commissions?

Routine work like intake, COIs, endorsements, policy Q&A, and renewal triage runs through Orin, our insurance-specialized language model. Licensed brokers focus on judgment work like carrier selection, complex coverage, and claim advocacy. Across the customer base we average a 60 percent reduction in broker commission cost versus a typical small-business broker. That is an average, not a guarantee.
