Does my business need general liability insurance?
General liability insurance is not always required by law, but landlords, clients, lenders, and project owners may require it. Even when it isn’t mandatory, coverage can help protect your business from costly claims and lawsuits.

The appropriate limits depend on your industry, contracts, business size, location, and exposure to claims. Some clients or landlords may specify minimum limits before allowing you to begin work or sign a lease.
