Commercial umbrella insurance may be referred to as a “business umbrella” or “excess liability policy.” These different names all mean the same thing.
Similar to personal umbrella insurance, a business umbrella policy is liability coverage that goes beyond other commercial insurance policies—helping you guard your assets. It may also be primary insurance for losses that aren’t covered by the other policies.
Nowadays, a general liability policy may not be enough to keep your business from enduring significant losses that may cause financial harm.
Without proper umbrella coverage, you may have to pay out of pocket for medical expenses, legal defense costs, or other damages that your current policy excludes. An umbrella policy can often be the difference between your business surviving or not.
In particular, businesses with a high profile, sizable sales, numerous assets, large auto fleets, a global presence, and/or significant public exposure may need higher liability limits, and therefore, a business umbrella policy.
When you purchase an umbrella policy, it’s added to the limits you bought in your general liability, commercial auto, or workers comp policies. It picks up where your other liability coverage ends—providing extra protection against bodily injury and/or property damage.
Let’s say your business is insured and you’re liable to someone. In that case, the policyholder’s primary insurance policies pay their limits and any extra amount is paid by the umbrella policy—up to the coverage limit.
