🛡️ Five Essential Coverage Types for Prosper Businesses

1️⃣ GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE Covers bodily injury to customers/clients, property damage to others, product liability, advertising injury. ESSENTIAL for any business with customer interaction. Required by most commercial leases and contracts. Foundation of business protection.

2️⃣ BUSINESS OWNER'S POLICY (BOP) Bundles general liability + commercial property + business interruption. Less expensive than buying separately. Perfect for small to medium Prosper businesses. Covers building/equipment/inventory plus income loss if forced to close.

3️⃣ PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY (E&O) CRITICAL for Prosper's professional services sector (2,558 employees). Covers errors, omissions, negligence claims. Required by many client contracts. Protects consultants, advisors, technical professionals from devastating claims.

4️⃣ WORKERS' COMPENSATION (Strategic Decision) Optional for Texas private employers but provides crucial lawsuit protection. Average $32/month. Without coverage, lose legal defenses against employee injury lawsuits. Required for government contracts. Decision based on employees and risk.

5️⃣ CYBER LIABILITY INSURANCE 99% of small businesses use digital tools = cyber risk. Covers data breaches, ransomware, system hacks. Notification costs, credit monitoring, legal fees, business interruption. Essential as Prosper businesses go digital.
