Whether you operate a one-person LLC or large corporation, it’s important to cover your business entity with corporate coverage. A corporate policy will cover your LLC or corporation, you as the owner, and (if applicable) your employees.

  • Why do one-person businesses need to apply for corporate coverage?

If a claim or lawsuit arises from your professional services, it’s possible for your business entity to be named in the lawsuit. An individual policy will not provide any coverage for your business entity for claims, incidents, or lawsuits arising from your professional services.

  • Will a policy under my individual name cover my business if I’m the sole owner?

No, an individual policy will only cover you as an individual provider and does not cover your business entity, even if you are the sole owner or employee.

  • Can I simply add my business as an additional insured on my individual policy?

No, you cannot add a business entity you own or operate as an additional insured. You must upgrade your policy from individual to corporate coverage in order to appropriately cover your business entity.

  • Will having corporate coverage change my premium?

Corporate coverage is rated differently than individual coverage, but does not always guarantee there will be an increase. Your corporate application is subject to underwriting review.

If you have questions before purchasing a policy or need assistance with an existing one, we have licensed insurance agents available by phone to lend knowledgeable support. At CPH Insurance, we treat professional liability insurance for private practices similarly to how you treat your clients. We want to support you professionally so you can be the best therapist to your clients and provide a lasting impact on the lives you touch.
