Best case scenario, if you don’t take out a business office insurance policy, perhaps nothing will happen. Unless your company or your area has policies, rules or laws against going uninsured, there is a chance that you will never have to pay the price for not taking out an insurance policy.

It’s not about what will happen, it’s about what can happen. What can happen in this instance isn’t some long shot, it’s not being struck by lightning or winning the lottery. What can happen in this instance is something that happens every day in offices all around the country and not only possible, but entirely plausible as an occurrence in your office, as well. To list the two biggest risks:

Getting Sued

Getting sued is perhaps the most common fear for the uninsured. You might be able to keep your pipes and wiring in working order to the point that you only take out insurance on flood and fire damage as a long shot, “what if” sort of safety net. When it comes to being sued, though, you have to be protected not only from legitimate claims but from people with frivolous charges to toss at you. You can do everything right and still be sued.

Paying for Damages Out of Pocket

Supposing something does go wrong: A fire breaks out, a disgruntled employee smashes a computer, a tree topples over in a storm and smashes a window, not holding an insurance policy leaves you paying out of pocket or else patching a window up with duct tape. Getting covered is an incredibly minor expense in comparison to the kind of money you risk having to pay without office insurance.

The question is whether the risk is bigger than the cost of insurance, and in most cases, it absolutely is.
