Insurance Essentials for Small Business
Small and micro businesses face a unique set of risks, from property damage and liability claims to cyber threats and unexpected interruptions that can impact income and operations.
Join Jen Gordon from Gallagher as she unpacks the key insurance considerations every business owner should understand. You'll learn about essential covers, common gaps that leave businesses exposed, emerging risks to be aware of, and how to make informed decisions about protecting your business without over-insuring.
Whether you're a sole trader, start-up, or established business owner, this session will help you better understand your risks and the practical steps you can take to safeguard the business you've worked hard to build.
