As an independent agency, we help business owners like you add an extra layer of liability protection that's surprisingly affordable. Take 5 minutes to get your free quote and ensure one catastrophic claim doesn't wipe out everything you've worked for.
What Commercial Umbrella Insurance Generally Covers
Commercial umbrella insurance provides additional liability coverage that kicks in after your underlying policies (general liability, commercial auto, employer's liability) reach their limits. It covers bodily injury claims that exceed your base policy, property damage beyond standard limits, certain liability claims not covered by underlying policies, and legal defense costs for covered claims. Most umbrella policies start at $1 million and can extend up to $10 million or more. Our experienced agents help you determine how much umbrella coverage makes sense based on your business assets, risk exposure, and the liability limits on your existing policies.
We Offer Additional Coverage Options
Commercial umbrella insurance works with your existing business policies to provide complete protection. That's why we offer the underlying coverages umbrella policies require, including general liability insurance for third-party claims, commercial auto for vehicle liability, employer's liability for workplace injuries, and professional liability for service-based businesses that need layered protection.

Expert answers to help you understand umbrella coverage and how it protects your business assets
Commercial umbrella insurance provides extra liability coverage above your standard business policies. If you have significant business or personal assets to protect, work in high-risk industries, have large client contracts, or want protection beyond standard limits, you need umbrella coverage. It's surprisingly affordable protection against worst-case scenarios that could bankrupt your business.
Umbrella insurance is one of the most cost-effective coverages you can buy. Most businesses pay $300-$800 annually for $1 million in additional coverage. That's roughly 10-20% of what you'd pay to increase your underlying liability limits by the same amount. The cost increases with higher coverage amounts and your business's risk profile.
A common guideline is to carry umbrella coverage equal to your total business and personal assets. If you have $2 million in combined assets, consider at least $2 million in umbrella coverage. High-risk businesses, those with significant contracts, or owners with substantial personal wealth often carry $5-10 million. We'll help you assess your actual exposure.
Umbrella insurance provides broader coverage and can cover claims your underlying policies don't, while excess liability simply extends existing coverage limits. Umbrella policies also typically cover multiple underlying policies (general liability, auto, employer's liability) under one policy. For most businesses, umbrella provides better protection.
No. Umbrella policies require you to maintain minimum underlying liability limits, typically $1 million on general liability and commercial auto. This ensures you have proper base protection before adding the umbrella layer. We'll help you structure your policies correctly to qualify for umbrella coverage.
