Common Risks for Small Business Owners
Injury or Illness to you or staff
Running a small business often depends on just a few key people. If you or an employee suffers a serious injury or illness, it can significantly disrupt your operations, impact productivity, and result in unexpected costs.
Financial Stress or Cash Flow Shortages
Unexpected expenses, slow-paying clients, or underestimating operational costs can quickly lead to cash flow problems, making it difficult to pay suppliers, meet payroll, or cover other critical business expenses.
Damage to Business Property or Theft
Whether you work from a retail space, warehouse, or home office, damage from fire, storm, or theft of valuable stock and equipment can have a major financial impact and take time to recover from.
Legal Action over Intellectual Property or Branding
Small businesses can face legal claims for using similar names, logos, or content, even if unintentional. Defending these claims or settling disputes can be costly and time-consuming.
Claims of Professional Negligence or Errors
If your business provides advice or services, clients may allege mistakes, missed deadlines, or inaccurate guidance. Even if the claim isn’t valid, defending yourself against allegations can be expensive and damaging to your reputation.
