Wedding Insurance - A Form of Protection

Monday, June 30th, 2008

We have heard of many types of insurance policies. But what is a wedding insurance and how can it help to make you feel more secure?

Your big day is a day of happiness and both of you have waited eagerly for this day. You certainly do not want to get any mishaps along the way to dampen the mood. But if there are unforeseen contingencies, how well are you shielded from them?

If you are opting for a destination wedding at a beach, you might be wary of what could be sudden adverse weather changes which might be an impediment to the conduct of your wedding.

Wedding insurance typically covers postponement or rescheduling of the wedding against adverse weather, no show of wedding vendors, no show of key personnel, damage to precious wedding photos and loss of special items such as jewelry or documents.

The premium is a one time fee and varies according to the depth of coverage needed.

Do note the fine prints on the limitations and exclusions of the policy. Make sure that you are well aware of the things that you might not be able to claim.

What are the things that might go wrong and might be covered under the policy?

  • Cancellation or postponement of wedding due to bereavement or illness of the immediate family.

  • Loss of wedding jewelry.

  • No show of wedding vendors.

  • Damage to the wedding photographs.

Being well prepared for the event is good and you could find yourself feeling a lot less frustrated when things do go wrong.

Of course there is something that cannot be covered under the wedding insurance policy, which is, the emotional disappointment.

Small Business Insurance Do You and Your Subcontractors Need It

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

Of course, you need to check with an accountant or lawyer for specific information, but in this article, you’ll learn what small business insurance has worked for our computer consultants and customers in the past.

What Type of Small Business Insurance Do You Need?

You should definitely have both a general liability as well as a professional liability policy for your services. That professional liability should have the errors and omissions insurance rider folded into it as part of your small business insurance coverage.

How Much Will It Cost You?

This insurance will range in cost, but $3500 is about average. Typically, small business insurance companies will base your price on your size, in terms of employees, the sales volume you’re doing, and how they characterize you by risks.

Take time to carefully explain and look at the categories with your agent before they lump you into something that you’re not. A lot of times they might classify you into software developers which could be a very different risk category than network installers or resellers.

Do Your Subcontractors Need Small Business Insurance?

Yes, each of your subcontractors should definitely have general and professional liability and errors and omissions insurance. You should not be covering them. Otherwise what you’re doing is probably providing benefits that are more like what you would do for an employee as opposed to a contractor.

What’s The Next Step With Your Small Business Insurance?

Talk to your attorney and talk to your insurance agent. If you have an insurance agent that takes care of your property and contents insurance needs, you should definitely sit down and talk with them. You might want to ask this question of your accountant also because they have a relatively similar business model in your same area.
