• General Liability – covers third-party bodily injury, property damage, or personal injury (like advertising injury claims). 

• Cyber Liability – protects against expenses from cyberattacks, data breaches, and other digital security events. 

• Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) – combines liability coverage with business property protection. 

• Workers’ Compensation – required in most states if you have employees.
