Colorado Business Insurance
Customized protection for your Colorado business
Colorado business owners should consider several types of commercial insurance for financial and legal reasons. A variety of work-related incidents, such as customer injury or property damage, can disrupt a business’s daily operations and financial assets. Insurance helps minimize these problems.
There are over 684,000 small businesses in Colorado that account for 99.5% of all businesses in the state, according to the Small Business Administration (SBA). These small businesses collectively employ 1.2 million people and are required by Colorado state law to protect them with workers’ compensation insurance.

How much does business insurance cost in Colorado?
The cost of business insurance in Colorado depends on a business’s coverage needs, size and location. For example, a business in Denver can expect a different rate than a business in Colorado Springs.
The most influential cost factor is the level of risk associated with the type of work that’s done. For example, a contractor is usually exposed to more risk than a real estate agent because their work is physical and includes the use of heavy tools. In this scenario, the contractor can expect to pay more for coverage.

Colorado business insurance requirements
Workers’ compensation is required for all Colorado businesses with one or more employees. Small business owners have the option to purchase coverage through a commercial insurance carrier or through self-insurance programs, if qualified.
Most other business insurance coverages aren't required by law, though certain professional occupations might be required to carry professional liability coverage.
It’s generally a good idea to have some type of business insurance protection, even if it isn’t mandatory. An unexpected incident can result in a claim that can threaten your daily operations and cash flow.
