Of course, you might decide not to, but in this case you risk losing everything – so this is not something we would advise you to do. Below we created a list of the most importance insurances that you are required to have legally.
Employers’ liability insurance
According to the professionals in insurance field and healthcare spending accounts, liability insurance is one of the basics you must have. It is vital if you do not want to be responsible for your employees’ lives and health at a work place. Furthermore, if your business gets checked for the insurances and it appears that you do not have employee health insurance benefits, you risk getting a fine of around $3,000. Do you really want to take this kind of risk?
Public liability insurance
This one is not obligatory by law but highly advised. This one will take care of any people who might accidentally come to your premises or get their on purpose and get hurt. It means that if your customer slips in the toilet, the case is covered.
Buildings insurance for your premises
This type of insurance will ensure that any kind of damage that happens to occur to or at your premises will be covered. Of course, it will happen only in case of emergency flood or fire catastrophe. This insurance is also non-obligatory though makes pretty good sense if you think it through.

Must-haves
