Did you know that not all local insurers offer Orlando business insurance to Internet-based businesses? It is perhaps a little surprising, given the number of new online ventures springing up daily, but the fact is that the online world brings new risks into the picture, and they’re risks that not all insurers are willing to take – yet. 

Are you aware of the risks your online business faces? Here are just two:

Publishing

If you have a website, a blog, or both, you’re publishing information and no doubt advertising your services or products. The risk is that you may one day publish something that isn’t true. It may be that you publish something libelous about a person or company or you go over the top with your advertising and guarantee something you can’t deliver (a guaranteed cure for back pain, for example).

You’ll need liability insurance to protect you financially from these risks.

Your Website and Data

As an online business, your entire operation depends on the availability of your website, and of the communications infrastructure that keeps it operational. Much can go wrong here – from a disaster that disrupts services, to hackers targeting your website.

The good news is that there are insurers who understand the nature of online business and have developed Orlando business insurance policies that suit some types of Internet-based enterprises. Call your local agent if you need to find out more.
