Business Insurance

Your Business Is Your Livelihood. Let’s Protect It Like One.

No cookie-cutter policies. No confusing jargon. Just real protection.

You’ve poured your time, money, energy, and reputation into building your business, and one accident, lawsuit, storm, or unexpected event shouldn’t take it all away. That’s where the right business insurance comes in.

At Rhonda P. Myers Insurance Agency, we help Charleston-area businesses protect their income, property, employees, and future — with smart coverage built around how you actually operate.

Why Business Insurance Matters (More Than You Think)

Even the best-run businesses face risks every day:

  • A customer slips and gets hurt

  • An employee damages client property

  • A storm destroys your office or equipment

  • You’re sued for something you (or an employee) did

  • A company vehicle is in an accident

  • An employee gets hurt on the job

  • A fire shuts down your operations

One claim could cost thousands — or even millions.

The right insurance keeps you protected AND keeps your doors open.

The Core Coverages Every Business Should Know

1️⃣ GL – GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE

The #1 most important business coverage.

Protects you if your business is sued for:

  • Someone getting hurt on your property or job site

  • Damage to someone else’s property

  • Accidents caused by you or your employees

  • Legal defense, attorney fees, settlements, judgments

If you work with people, clients, or the public — you need GL.

2️⃣ BOP – BUSINESS OWNER’S POLICY (a.k.a. Business Owned Property)

A BOP bundles General Liability + Commercial Property Insurance into one affordable, powerful policy.

A BOP protects:

  • Your building (if owned)

  • Your office or workspace

  • Furniture, inventory, tools, equipment

  • Computers, fixtures, supplies

  • Fire, theft, storms, vandalism

  • Business Interruption / Loss of Income (If you can’t operate due to a covered loss, your income is protected!)

BOP = Liability + Property + Lost Income (all-in-one).

It’s the smart choice for most small to mid-sized businesses.

3️⃣ COMMERCIAL AUTO INSURANCE

Personal auto insurance does NOT cover business use or company vehicles.

Commercial auto covers:

  • Company cars, trucks, vans, service vehicles

  • Employees driving for business purposes

  • Accidents, injuries, property damage

  • Lawsuits and legal defense

If you or your employees drive for work — you need commercial auto.

4️⃣ WORKERS’ COMPENSATION

Required by South Carolina law if you have employees.

Workers’ comp covers:

  • Medical bills if an employee is injured on the job

  • Lost wages during recovery

  • Rehab or disability

  • Legal protection if an employee sues

It protects your team — and protects your business from lawsuits.

Additional Coverages We Can Customize for Your Business

Every business is different. We can tailor your policy with coverages like:

  • Professional Liability (E&O) – For service mistakes or bad advice

  • Tools & Equipment / Inland Marine – Covers equipment on job sites or in transit

  • Cyber Liability – Data breach, hacking, stolen info, ransomware

  • Employment Practices Liability – Claims from hiring/firing/discrimination

  • Commercial Flood Insurance – Flooding is NOT covered in standard policies

  • Business Interruption – Replaces income if you’re forced to close temporarily

  • Commercial Umbrella (Extra Liability) – Adds $1M+ protection above your limits

  • Key Person Insurance – Protects if a key employee or partner passes away

  • Group Life or Benefits Packages – Attract and retain good employees

Rhonda helps you choose ONLY what you need — nothing you don’t.
