Business Insurance Doesn't Cover Everything

Business owners insurance helps protect your business from sudden and accidental losses. However, not all losses are covered by a standard business insurance policy.

Flood

Earthquakes

Water Backup

Floods, earthquakes and water/sewer backups are typically excluded from business owners insurance. If you want to purchase additional insurance to help cover damage from these events, talk to your Allstate agent to learn what options are available.

Need more protection?

Below are just a few of the optional coverages you may be able to purchase as add-ons to your Allstate Business Insurance policy or as a separate policy. Coverages may not be available in all states and limits may vary.
