Welcome to The Co-operators Insurance and Financial Services web site.  For more information regarding our home, auto, life, investments, group, business, farm or travel products. Please contact one of our agents.
Let's face it, running a business is risky. Many factors outside the control of a business owner can influence the success or failure of the enterprise. Since ahigh percentage of new businesses fail within the first few months, it’s important to determine the risks your business faces and what insurance coverage you will need to offset those risks.

 Do I need liability insurance?
Welcome to The Co-operators Insurance and Financial Services web site.  For more information regarding our home, auto, life, investments, group, business, farm or travel products. Please contact one of our agents.
Liability insurance is vital to the success of any company. It provides the protection you need in the event you are found legally liable for injuries caused to another person or damage to their property (e.g. a customer visits your place of business and slips on your steps). Our commercial policy packages automatically include liability coverage.

Buying insurance is one way to deal with risk. However, taking the time to identify and implement loss prevention strategies is also important, since these measures will help counteract certain risks. For example, installing a security system and moving to a location less susceptible to crime will help reduce the chance of theft.

A buy-sell agreement is a written agreement that provides for the sale of a business interest if something happens to a business owner or business partner (e.g. death, disability, retirement ). A buy-sell agreement helps ensure a smooth transition of ownership. If you own a business, you can use life insurance to fund a buy-sell agreement.
