In addition to your basic business auto policy, United Fire Group offers:

Owning your own business can be both rewarding and satisfying, but it also comes with its own set of worries and frustrations. Every business has its own unique exposures that could cause a severe financial loss if not properly insured. You have enough things to worry about as a business owner; insurance shouldn’t be one of them. Let United Fire Group protect you.

To better meet your needs, you can customize your insurance policy with a variety of optional coverages.
  • Blanket Limit coverage: If your business has multiple locations, a single limit of insurance will apply to all locations. This is important because it ensures that your inventory will still be covered, even if it moves between locations.

  • Hired and Non-Owned Auto: This coverage is available if your business does not have any owned autos, but borrows or hires an auto.

Commercial Umbrella

A huge liability loss can strike at any time. As a business owner, you have more to lose and more ways to lose it. If your business was found to be at fault for an event, would you have enough insurance from your current commercial liability policies to cover another person’s injuries? Could you stand to lose everything, including the business you’ve worked so hard to build, as a result of this unfortunate event?
We live in an increasingly litigious society, which is why it is crucial, especially for business owners, to have an extra layer of liability coverage. That’s where United Fire Group’s commercial umbrella policy can help.
The commercial umbrella program from United Fire Group provides additional liability protection, picking up where your commercial general liability and commercial auto liability policies leave off.
Plus, unlike others in the industry, our commercial umbrella is a true umbrella policy, meaning that you are protected against some claims that may not be covered by your underlying policies.
We encourage you to take this opportunity to learn more about how our commercial umbrella program can protect you from the day you have a claim. It could be the most important policy you ever purchase for your business.

Contractors Errors and Ommissions

As a contractor, you manage multiple projects at one time, with your customers depending on you to complete their jobs on time and on budget. But, no matter how careful you are, mistakes can happen. You need the coverage to protect your business from losses caused by defective materials or faulty workmanship. These types of losses can have a devastating impact on your business’ production, profitability and reputation.
The contractors errors and omissions (E and O) policy from United Fire Group offers unique coverage to protect you against four important coverage exclusions in a standard general liability policy:
  • Product exclusion: Most general liability policies exclude damage to your product after the customer has taken possession. With our contractors E and O policy, you are protected against claims of faulty workmanship and materials and against the resulting loss incurred.
  • Work exclusion: Most general liability policies exclude property damage to your work. With our contractors E and O policy, you are protected against damage to your work after your portion of the job or project has been completed.
  • Professional liability: Most general liability policies provide protection only when you are legally liable for injury or property damage to a third party. With our contractors E and O policy, you are protected when you are legally responsible to pay compensatory damages as the result of your error, omission or negligent act while acting in the capacity of a contractor.
  • Product recall exclusion: Most general liability policies exclude losses incurred when your products or work are withdrawn from the market or from use because of defect or deficiency. With our contractors E and O policy, you are protected when acting in the capacity of a contractor from costs, losses or expenses incurred due to your product or work being recalled.
Before something unexpected happens, we encourage you to learn more about the contractors E and O coverage from United Fire Group. It could mean the difference between staying in business or closing your doors.
